XRP Ledger developers released xrpld version 3.2.1 as a hotfix after a manifest flood attack on July 31 threatened node resources by overwhelming them with unknown validator data. The update introduces four safeguards to limit manifest size, message batches, cache growth, and data sharing from untrusted sources, preventing resource exhaustion without affecting ledger consensus or causing financial loss.
