The 2.3 series release notes contain important changes in this release series.

Bug Fixes

• Changing a public repository to private would cause Git operations to stop replicating to the high availability replica.

Security Fixes

• MEDIUM OpenSSL packages have been updated to address multiple vulnerabilities, including CVE-2016-0800, known as DROWN, which did not affect GitHub Enterprise.
• MEDIUM Ruby on Rails packages have been updated to address multiple vulnerabilities.
• MEDIUM Implemented mitigation for a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 through 11 (CVE-2015-0072).
• MEDIUM Implemented mitigation for a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability where plain text or other content types could be parsed as HTML.
• Packages have been updated to the latest security versions.
• The ca-certificates package has been updated to remove outdated certificate authority (CA) certificates. This update refreshes the included certificates and removes the SPI CA and CA certificates with 1024-bit RSA keys.

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.
• Email can't be sent over TLS when SSL is disabled.
• Deleting a user doesn't delete their gists, which can cause problems with replication.
• 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.
• The management console settings interface doesn't clearly show if you have previously uploaded certificate files or a private key.
• Management console sessions can expire too quickly for Safari users.
• Gist repositories are not garbage collected by the maintenance scheduler.
• Custom firewall rules aren't maintained during an upgrade.
• Repositories that are in an incomplete state, which is a rare problem, can cause the migration to the new repository disk layout to fail.
• Enqueued background jobs are sometimes not purged when a repository is deleted.
• When a fork is detached from its repository network by an administrator or by changing visibility, its filesystem path won't be updated on a high availability replica until at least one commit has been pushed.
• Viewing raw files in repositories owned by a user or organization named "github" fails with a 400 error.
