The 2.10 series release notes contain important changes in this release series.
Git client vulnerabilities
A number of critical Git security vulnerabilities were recently announced that affect all versions of the official Git client.
We strongly recommend that you ensure that all users update their Git clients, in addition to upgrading to this GitHub Enterprise release.
More details on these vulnerabilities can be found in the official announcement, and the associated CVEs, CVE-2018-11233 and CVE-2018-11235. (updated 2018-05-30)
Security Fixes
- CRITICAL There was a remote code execution vulnerability that leveraged CVE-2018-11235 during the Pages build process. The Git package has been updated to address the vulnerability in the Pages build process. This fix is also available in GitHub Enterprise 2.10.22. (updated 2018-05-30)
- Packages have been updated to the latest security versions.
Bug Fixes
- Maintenance mode could be unset while a configuration run was in progress.
Known Issues
- We incorrectly redirect to the dashboard if you accessed GitHub Enterprise using an alias while in private mode. This might happen if you set a fully qualified domain name but the subdomain resolves correctly.
- Images uploaded to issues save with an absolute URL, so they can be broken if the hostname changes.
- On a freshly set up GitHub Enterprise without any users, an attacker could create the first admin user.
- Custom firewall rules aren't maintained during an upgrade.
svn checkout
may timeout while the repository data cache is being built. In most cases, subsequent svn checkout
attempts will succeed.
- Git LFS tracked files uploaded through the web interface are incorrectly added directly to the repository.
- GitHub Enterprise clustering can not be configured without https.
- Deleting a search index doesn't delete all associated metadata, which are then incorrectly reused if a new search index is created. This causes search index repair jobs to be reported as finished in the site admin when they were not.
Thanks!
