<h2 class="post-title"><a href="/blog/2013/12/31/libcloud-0-13-3-released.html">Libcloud 0.13.3 released</a></h2>
<span class="post-date-author">By Tomaz Muraus on Dec 31, 2013</span>
<div class="post-content">
<p>This release fixes a security issue with a potential leak of data contained on
a destroyed DigitalOcean node. Only users who are using a DigitalOcean driver
are affected.</p>
<h3 id="details-about-the-vulnerability">Details about the vulnerability</h3>
<p>DigitalOcean recently changed the default API behavior from scrub to
non-scrub when destroying a VM without notifying the customers and API
consumers.</p>
<p>Libcloud prior to this release doesn’t explicitly send “scrub_data” query
parameter when destroying a node. This means nodes which are destroyed using
Libcloud are vulnerable to later customers stealing data contained on them.</p>
<p>This release fixes that by always sending “scrub_data” query parameter when
destroying a DigitalOcean node.</p>
<p>If you are using a DigitalOcean driver, you are strongly encouraged to
upgrade (or downgrade if you are using 0.14.0-beta3 beta release) to this
release.</p>
<p>For more information, please see the <a href="/security.html#CVE-2013-6480">Security page</a>.</p>
<h3 id="download">Download</h3>
<p>Libcloud 0.13.3 can be downloaded from
