  • v1.10.2 Changes

    August 27, 2021

    KNOWN ISSUES:

    • 🚀 tls: The fix for CVE-2021-37219 introduced an issue that could prevent TLS certificate validation when intermediate CA certificates used to sign server certificates are transmitted in the TLS session but are not present in all Consul server's configured CA certificates. This has the effect of preventing Raft RPCs between the affected servers. As a work around until the next patch releases, ensure that all intermediate CA certificates are present in all Consul server configurations prior to using certificates that they have signed.

  • v1.10.1 Changes

    July 15, 2021

    KNOWN ISSUES:

    • The change to enable streaming by default uncovered an incompatibility between streaming and WAN federation over mesh gateways causing traffic to fall back to attempting a direct WAN connection rather than transiting through the gateways. We currently suggest explicitly setting use_streaming_backend=false if using WAN federation over mesh gateways when upgrading to 1.10.1 and are working to address this issue in a future patch release.

  • v1.9.9 Changes

    August 27, 2021

    KNOWN ISSUES:

    • 🚀 tls: The fix for CVE-2021-37219 introduced an issue that could prevent TLS certificate validation when intermediate CA certificates used to sign server certificates are transmitted in the TLS session but are not present in all Consul server's configured CA certificates. This has the effect of preventing Raft RPCs between the affected servers. As a work around until the next patch releases, ensure that all intermediate CA certificates are present in all Consul server configurations prior to using certificates that they have signed.

    👌 IMPROVEMENTS:

    • areas: (Enterprise only) Add 15s timeout to opening streams over pooled connections.
    • areas: (Enterprise only) Apply backpressure to area gossip packet ingestion when more than 512 packets are waiting to be ingested.
