Security Based Updates

Updates to the OpenLogic CentOS Repository
*) OpenLogic’s Enterprise Linux Team has recently published the following updates:

We recommend that you update your CentOS 6 systems to ensure proper timekeeping. As usual, please ensure that you test these updates before deploying to production. If you don't currently have CentOS repo access, please reach out to your Perforce/OpenLogic salesperson … you may already be entitled to access with your existing support contract!

Non-Security Based Updates

Jenkins 2.438

  •  Update the appearance of the stop button. (pull 8780)
  •  Use a notification and Jenkins modal for 'Apply' button failures. (pull 8394)
  •  Display correct time zone in build history. (issue 71965)
  •  The tunnel property on an inbound agent was inadvertently broken for JCasC usage in 2.437. It remains deprecated and usages should be deleted (regression in 2.437). (pull 8793)

Jenkins 2.439

  • Avoid repeated tool downloads from misconfigured HTTP servers. (issue 72469)
  •  Fix SimpleScheduledRetentionStrategy on inbound agents. Allow suspended inbound agents to again accept tasks when they are reconnected and the configured scheduling policy is enabled. (issue 72370)

RabbitMQ 3.12.11
Core Broker
Bug Fixes:

  • Quorum queue declared when one of cluster nodes was down could trigger
    connection exceptions.
  • Avoids a rare exception that could stop TCP socket writes on a client connection.
  • queue_deleted and queue_created internal events now include queue type as a module name,
    and not an inconsistent (with the other queue and stream types) value classic.

Enhancements:

  • Definition files that are virtual host-specific cannot be imported on boot. Such files will now be
    detected early and the import process will terminate after logging a more informative message.
  • Previously the import process would run into an obscure exception.

AMQP 1.0 Plugin
Bug Fixes:

  • Several AMQP 1.0 application properties are now more correctly converted
    to AMQP 0-9-1 headers by cross-protocol Shovels.
  • The priority property now populates an AMQP 1.0 header with the same name,
    per AMQP 1.0 spec.
  • This is a potentially breaking change.

Prometheus Plugin
Enhancements:

  • Metric label values now escape certain non-ASCII characters.

MQTT Plugin
Bug Fixes:

  • Avoids an exception when an MQTT client that used a QoS 0 subscription reconnects
    and its original connection node is down.
  • Avoids an exception when an MQTT client connection was force-closed via the HTTP API.

CLI Tools
Bug Fixes:

  • Certain CLI commands could not be run in a shell script loop, unless the script explicitly
    redirected standard input.

Enhancements:

  • rabbitmq-diagnostics cluster_status now responds much quicker when a cluster node
    has gone down, were shut down, or otherwise has become unreachable by the rest of the cluster.

Management Plugin
Bug Fixes:

  • Reverted a change to DELETE /api/queues/{vhost}/{name} that allowed removal of
    exclusive queues and introduced unexpected side effects.
  • DELETE /api/policies/{vhost}/{policy} returned a 500 response instead of a 404 one
    when target virtual host did not exist.
  • Avoid log noise when an HTTP API request is issued against a booting
    or very freshly booted node.

Enhancements:

  • HTTP API endpoints that involves contacting multiple nodes now respond much quicker when a cluster node
    has gone down, were shut down, or otherwise has become unreachable by the rest of the cluster
  • Definition exported for just one virtual host cannot be imported at node boot time.
    Now such files are detected early with a clear log message and immediate node boot process termination.

AWS Peer Discovery Plugin
Enhancements:

  • Type spec and test corrections.
