Created cloud-init tracking bugs for this issue: Affects: epel-5 [bug 1073592] This does affect EPEL5, however, as it provides cloud-init 0.6.3. I do see now that EPEL 6 does in fact include 0.7.4. A patch that fixes this bug was added the cloud-init in EPEL 5 back in 2012, so it's not vulnerable either. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/cloud-init.git/commit/?h=el5&id=8462fc9d5504c426d14baa797a759006435e078f Perfect, thanks Sam! |
