RHBA-2020:3609 - OpenShift Container Platform 4.3.38 bug fix update

Synopsis

OpenShift Container Platform 4.3.38 bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory None

Topic

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.3.38 is now available with updates to packages and images that fix several bugs.

Description

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private cloud deployments.

This advisory contains the container images for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.3.38. See the following advisory for the RPM packages for this release:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2020:3610

Space precludes documenting all of the container images in this advisory. See the following Release Notes documentation, which will be updated shortly for this release, for details about these changes:

https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.3/release_notes/ocp-4-3-release-notes.html

This update fixes the following bugs among others:

Previously, the Insights Operator was only uploading data after the first polling interval, which usually took over two hours to complete. This caused the data collected by the Insights Operator to not be available instantly in OCM. This initial delay has been fixed by uploading the data right after it has been collected by the Insights Operator the first time. Subsequent data collections by the Insights Operator have not changed. (BZ#1843923)
Previously, the UID range allocation was never updated when a project was removed from the cluster. Restarting the kube-controller-manager Pod was the only way to trigger the repair procedure, which was clearing the range. A high project turnover could potentially exhaust the UID range on a cluster if this process was repeated many times. This bug is fixed by periodically running the repair job automatically, which does not require additional kube-controller-manager restarts and ensures the UID range allocation is not exhausted. (BZ#1858802)

Previously, when trying to pull images from container image registries such as registry.redhat.io, an authentication issue would occur when using Podman v1.6.4:

STEP 1: FROM registry.redhat.io/rhscl/httpd-24-rhel7 AS base
Error: error creating build container: Error initializing source docker://registry.redhat.io/rhscl/httpd-24-rhel7:latest:
unable to retrieve auth token: invalid username/password: unauthorized: Please login to the Red Hat Registry using your
Customer Portal credentials. Further instructions can be found here: https://access.redhat.com/RegistryAuthentication

This was caused by the IdentiyTokenKey in Oauth2 authorizations not being handled correctly. This issue has been fixed. (BZ#1867495)

You may download the oc tool and use it to inspect release image metadata as follows:

(For x86_64 architecture)

$ oc adm release info quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.3.38-x86_64

The image digest is sha256:59cc585be7b4ad069a18f6f1a3309391e172192744ee65fa6e499c8b337edda4

(For s390x architecture)

$ oc adm release info quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.3.38-s390x

The image digest is sha256:db6a28eb4d0b5445958f90d80d454bec351d1b2f7f47918d2292fcf72ff2572e

(For ppc64le architecture)

$ oc adm release info quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.3.38-ppc64le

The image digest is sha256:15b8d667b87165420fdd4c1603a99051dc2b5deb7eae1e60d49e8a0561e6fa5d

All OpenShift Container Platform 4.3 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages and images when they are available in the appropriate release channel.
