Security Fix(es):

  • python-cryptography: bleichenbacher timing oracle attack against RSA decryption (CVE-2020-25659)

  • krb5: unbounded recursion via an ASN.1-encoded Kerberos message in lib/krb5/asn.1/asn1_encode.c may lead to DoS (CVE-2020-28196)

  • python-cryptography: certain sequences of update() calls when symmetrically encrypting very large payloads could result in an integer overflow and lead to buffer overflows (CVE-2020-36242)

Bug Fix(es):

  • Previously, old RPM files were not properly removed during package removal (uninistall) or upgrade. As a result, removed packages were reinstalled, or, during and upgrade, the system tried to install two or more different versions at once, causing the upgrade to fail. In this release, the dnf plugin has been fixed, and RPM packages are now properly removed. The new version will also auto-heal the broken system by removing RPM packages which are not supposed to be in the persisted-rpms directory. (BZ#1936972)

  • With this release, ovirt-hosted-engine-ha supports multiple, comma-separated values for all iSCSI configuration items. (BZ#1909888)
