The 2.13 series release notes contain important changes in this release series.
Security Fixes
- CRITICAL: A file path traversal vulnerability in the
jekyll-remote-theme
gem of GitHub Pages could allow users to display the content of local files.
Bug Fixes
- GitHub Enterprise API responses would not be compressed when requested with
gzip
encoding.
- Webhooks could fail to be delivered if the compressed payload was greater than 1 MB.
- Upgrades could fail with
Connection timed out
if the hookshot service was unable to run migrations due to a firewall update that ran out of order.
- Repository replication records may be created inconsistently, resulting in unreported replication failures. This type of replication failure is now reported in
ghe-repl-status
.
ghe-repl-setup
allowed re-adding the same node as a replica.
- Using Safari, administrators were unable to schedule a future hotpatch upgrade from the Management Console due to an incompatible date parse.
ghe-config-check
would hang if run without any arguments.
hookshot
logs weren't purged properly in Elasticsearch and could consume large amounts of disk space.
- Migrations with
ghe-migrator
could fail to complete trying to add the same label to an issue.
- The pull request page could fail to load with a
500 Internal Server Error
if a reviewer is no longer a member of the GitHub Enterprise environment.
Known Issues
- 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.
- Pull request review comments are missing from an import with
ghe-migrator
.
- The import of protected branches with
ghe-migrator
fails when the creator of the protected branch no longer exists on the source instance. (updated 2018-10-31)
- The import of project boards with
ghe-migrator
fails when the creator of a card on the board no longer exists on the source instance. (updated 2018-11-21)
