The 2.19 series release notes contain important changes in this release series.
Security Fixes
- HIGH: OpenSSL has been updated to address CVE-2020-1967.
- HIGH: Git has been updated to address CVE-2020-5260 and CVE-2020-11008. New restrictions prevent malicious repositories from being pushed to the server instance, protecting clients which have not yet been patched.

- Packages have been updated to the latest security versions.
Bug Fixes
- A mismatch in MySQL configurations could cause backups to fail in large installations.
- A periodic task to clean up old log files would fail and send error messages to the local root account.
- When a GitHub Enterprise Server license contained non-ASCII characters, a
GET
request to the Management Console API /setup/api/settings
endpoint would result in an Internal Server Error.
- The recovery console would prompt for a root password, even if the root account was locked.
- When using the GraphQL's API for filtering issues assigned to a non-existent user, the message received would not be descriptive enough.
- A CODEOWNERS file with a leading UTF-8 Byte Order Mark would cause all codeowner rules to be ignored.
Changes
- When an external identity provider controlled user's site administrator status, users could not be demoted via the command line utility.
Known Issues
- On a freshly set up GitHub Enterprise Server without any users, an attacker could create the first admin user.
- Custom firewall rules are not maintained during an upgrade.
- Git LFS tracked files uploaded through the web interface are incorrectly added directly to the repository.
- Issues cannot be closed if they contain a permalink to a blob in the same repository where the file path is longer than 255 characters.
- When pushing to a gist, an exception could be triggered during the post-receive hook.
- When "Users can search GitHub.com" is enabled with GitHub Connect, issues in private and internal repositories are not included in GitHub.com search results.
