cinder fixed: 7.0.0a0 
pip install cinder>=7.0.0a0
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

pip show cinder

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by CVE-2013-4183, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show cinder

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Cinder in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 7.0.0a0), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show cinder command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Cinder, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The clear_volume function in LVMVolumeDriver driver in OpenStack Cinder 2013.1.1 through 2013.1.2 does not properly clear data when deleting a snapshot, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
