v1.6.2
SECURITY:
- IP Address Disclosure: We fixed a vulnerability where, under some error
conditions, Vault would return an error message disclosing internal IP
addresses. This vulnerability affects Vault and Vault Enterprise and is fixed in
1.6.2 (CVE-2021-3024). - Limited Unauthenticated Remove Peer: As of Vault 1.6, the remove-peer command
on DR secondaries did not require authentication. This issue impacts the
stability of HA architecture, as a bad actor could remove all standby
nodes from a DR
secondary. This issue affects Vault Enterprise 1.6.0 and 1.6.1, and is fixed in
1.6.2 (CVE-2021-3282). - Mount Path Disclosure: Vault previously returned different HTTP status codes for
existent and non-existent mount paths. This behavior would allow unauthenticated
brute force attacks to reveal which paths had valid mounts. This issue affects
Vault and Vault Enterprise and is fixed in 1.6.2 (CVE-2020-25594).
CHANGES:
- go: Update go version to 1.15.7 [GH-10730]
FEATURES:
- ui: Adds check for feature flag on application, and updates namespace toolbar on login if present [GH-10588]
IMPROVEMENTS:
- core (enterprise): "vault status" command works when a namespace is set. [GH-10725]
- core: reduce memory used by leases [GH-10726]
- storage/raft (enterprise): Listing of peers is now allowed on DR secondary
cluster nodes, as an update operation that takes in DR operation token for
authenticating the request.
BUG FIXES:
- agent: Set namespace for template server in agent. [GH-10757]
- core: Make the response to an unauthenticated request to sys/internal endpoints consistent regardless of mount existence. [GH-10650]
- metrics: Protect emitMetrics from panicking during post-seal [GH-10708]
- secrets/gcp: Fix issue with account and iam_policy roleset WALs not being removed after attempts when GCP project no longer exists [GH-10759]
- storage/raft (enterprise): Automated snapshots with Azure required specifying
azure_blob_environment
, which should have had as a defaultAZUREPUBLICCLOUD
. - storage/raft (enterprise): Autosnapshots config and storage weren't excluded from
performance replication, causing conflicts and errors. - ui: Fix bug that double encodes secret route when there are spaces in the path and makes you unable to view the version history. [GH-10596]
- ui: Fix expected response from feature-flags endpoint [GH-10684]
