v1.5.9

1.5.9

May 20th, 2021

SECURITY:

• Non-Expiring Leases: Vault and Vault Enterprise renewed nearly-expiring token
  leases and dynamic secret leases with a zero-second TTL, causing them to be
  treated as non-expiring, and never revoked. This issue affects Vault and Vault
  Enterprise versions 0.10.0 through 1.7.1, and is fixed in 1.5.9, 1.6.5, and
  1.7.2 (CVE-2021-32923).

CHANGES:

• agent: Update to use IAM Service Account Credentials endpoint for signing JWTs
  when using GCP Auto-Auth method [GH-11473]
• auth/gcp: Update to v0.7.2 to use IAM Service Account Credentials API for
  signing JWTs [GH-11499]

v1.6.3

SECURITY:

• Limited Unauthenticated License Read: We addressed a security vulnerability that allowed for the unauthenticated
  reading of Vault licenses from DR Secondaries. This vulnerability affects Vault and Vault Enterprise and is
  fixed in 1.6.3 (CVE-2021-27668).

CHANGES:

• secrets/mongodbatlas: Move from whitelist to access list API [GH-10966]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• ui: Clarify language on usage metrics page empty state [GH-10951]

BUG FIXES:

• auth/kubernetes: Cancel API calls to TokenReview endpoint when request context
  is closed [GH-10930]
• core/identity: Fix deadlock in entity merge endpoint. [GH-10877]
• quotas: Fix duplicate quotas on performance standby nodes. [GH-10855]
• quotas/rate-limit: Fix quotas enforcing old rate limit quota paths [GH-10689]
• replication (enterprise): Don't write request count data on DR Secondaries.
  Fixes DR Secondaries becoming out of sync approximately every 30s. [GH-10970]
• secrets/azure (enterprise): Forward service principal credential creation to the
  primary cluster if called on a performance standby or performance secondary. [GH-10902]

v1.6.2

SECURITY:

• IP Address Disclosure: We fixed a vulnerability where, under some error
  conditions, Vault would return an error message disclosing internal IP
  addresses. This vulnerability affects Vault and Vault Enterprise and is fixed in
  1.6.2 (CVE-2021-3024).
• Limited Unauthenticated Remove Peer: As of Vault 1.6, the remove-peer command
  on DR secondaries did not require authentication. This issue impacts the
  stability of HA architecture, as a bad actor could remove all standby
  nodes from a DR
  secondary. This issue affects Vault Enterprise 1.6.0 and 1.6.1, and is fixed in
  1.6.2 (CVE-2021-3282).
• Mount Path Disclosure: Vault previously returned different HTTP status codes for
  existent and non-existent mount paths. This behavior would allow unauthenticated
  brute force attacks to reveal which paths had valid mounts. This issue affects
  Vault and Vault Enterprise and is fixed in 1.6.2 (CVE-2020-25594).

CHANGES:

• go: Update go version to 1.15.7 [GH-10730]

FEATURES:

• ui: Adds check for feature flag on application, and updates namespace toolbar on login if present [GH-10588]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• core (enterprise): "vault status" command works when a namespace is set. [GH-10725]
• core: reduce memory used by leases [GH-10726]
• storage/raft (enterprise): Listing of peers is now allowed on DR secondary
  cluster nodes, as an update operation that takes in DR operation token for
  authenticating the request.

BUG FIXES:

• agent: Set namespace for template server in agent. [GH-10757]
• core: Make the response to an unauthenticated request to sys/internal endpoints consistent regardless of mount existence. [GH-10650]
• metrics: Protect emitMetrics from panicking during post-seal [GH-10708]
• secrets/gcp: Fix issue with account and iam_policy roleset WALs not being removed after attempts when GCP project no longer exists [GH-10759]
• storage/raft (enterprise): Automated snapshots with Azure required specifying
  azure_blob_environment, which should have had as a default AZUREPUBLICCLOUD.
• storage/raft (enterprise): Autosnapshots config and storage weren't excluded from
  performance replication, causing conflicts and errors.
• ui: Fix bug that double encodes secret route when there are spaces in the path and makes you unable to view the version history. [GH-10596]
• ui: Fix expected response from feature-flags endpoint [GH-10684]

v1.5.7

SECURITY:

• IP Address Disclosure: We fixed a vulnerability where, under some error
  conditions, Vault would return an error message disclosing internal IP
  addresses. This vulnerability affects Vault and Vault Enterprise and is fixed in
  1.6.2 and 1.5.7 (CVE-2021-3024).
• Mount Path Disclosure: Vault previously returned different HTTP status codes for
  existent and non-existent mount paths. This behavior would allow unauthenticated
  brute force attacks to reveal which paths had valid mounts. This issue affects
  Vault and Vault Enterprise and is fixed in 1.6.2 and 1.5.7 (CVE-2020-25594).

IMPROVEMENTS:

• storage/raft (enterprise): Listing of peers is now allowed on DR secondary
  cluster nodes, as an update operation that takes in DR operation token for
  authenticating the request.

BUG FIXES:

• core: Avoid disclosing IP addresses in the errors of unauthenticated requests [GH-10579]
• core: Make the response to an unauthenticated request to sys/internal endpoints consistent regardless of mount existence. [GH-10650]
