etcd-io__etcd/CHANGELOG-3.3.md

v3.3.2 (TBD)

See code changes and v3.3 upgrade guide for any breaking changes.

Fixed: v2

• Fix v2 proxy leaky HTTP requests.

Fixed: v3

• Fix server panic on invalid Election Proclaim/Resign HTTP(S) requests.
  • Previously, wrong-formatted HTTP requests to Election API could trigger panic in etcd server.
  • e.g. curl -L http://localhost:2379/v3/election/proclaim -X POST -d '{"value":""}', curl -L http://localhost:2379/v3/election/resign -X POST -d '{"value":""}'.
• Fix revision-based compaction retention parsing.
  • Previously, --auto-compaction-mode revision --auto-compaction-retention 1 was translated to revision retention 3600000000000.
  • Now, --auto-compaction-mode revision --auto-compaction-retention 1 is correctly parsed as revision retention 1.
• Prevent overflow by large TTL values for Lease Grant.
  • TTL parameter to Grant request is unit of second.
  • Leases with too large TTL values exceeding math.MaxInt64 expire in unexpected ways.
  • Server now returns rpctypes.ErrLeaseTTLTooLarge to client, when the requested TTL is larger than 9,000,000,000 (which is >285 years).
  • Again, etcd Lease is meant for short-periodic keepalives or sessions, in the range of seconds or minutes. Not for hours or days!
• Enable etcd server raft.Config.CheckQuorum when starting with ForceNewCluster.

v3.3.1 (2018-02-12)

See code changes and v3.3 upgrade guide for any breaking changes.

Improved

• Add warnings on requests taking too long.
  • e.g. etcdserver: read-only range request "key:\"\\000\" range_end:\"\\000\" " took too long [3.389041388s] to execute

Fixed: v3

• Fix mvcc "unsynced" watcher restore operation.
  • "unsynced" watcher is watcher that needs to be in sync with events that have happened.
  • That is, "unsynced" watcher is the slow watcher that was requested on old revision.
  • "unsynced" watcher restore operation was not correctly populating its underlying watcher group.
  • Which possibly causes missing events from "unsynced" watchers.

Security

• Compile with Go 1.9.4.

Improved

• Use coreos/bbolt to replace boltdb/bolt.
  • Fix etcd database size grows until mvcc: database space exceeded.
• Support database size larger than 8GiB (8GiB is now a suggested maximum size for normal environments)
• Reduce memory allocation on Range operations.
• Rate limit and randomize lease revoke on restart or leader elections.
  • Prevent spikes in Raft proposal rate.
• Support clientv3 balancer failover under network faults/partitions.
• Better warning on mismatched --initial-cluster flag.
  • etcd compares --initial-advertise-peer-urls against corresponding --initial-cluster URLs with forward-lookup.
  • If resolved IP addresses of --initial-advertise-peer-urls and --initial-cluster do not match (e.g. due to DNS error), etcd will exit with errors.
  • v3.2 error: --initial-cluster must include s1=https://s1.test:2380 given --initial-advertise-peer-urls=https://s1.test:2380.
  • v3.3 error: failed to resolve https://s1.test:2380 to match --initial-cluster=s1=https://s1.test:2380 (failed to resolve "https://s1.test:2380" (error ...)).

Security, Authentication

• Add CRL based connection rejection to manage revoked certs.
• Document TLS authentication changes.
  • Server accepts connections if IP matches, without checking DNS entries. For instance, if peer cert contains IP addresses and DNS names in Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field, and the remote IP address matches one of those IP addresses, server just accepts connection without further checking the DNS names.
  • Server supports reverse-lookup on wildcard DNS SAN. For instance, if peer cert contains only DNS names (no IP addresses) in Subject Alternative Name (SAN) field, server first reverse-lookups the remote IP address to get a list of names mapping to that address (e.g. nslookup IPADDR). Then accepts the connection if those names have a matching name with peer cert's DNS names (either by exact or wildcard match). If none is matched, server forward-lookups each DNS entry in peer cert (e.g. look up example.default.svc when the entry is *.example.default.svc), and accepts connection only when the host's resolved addresses have the matching IP address with the peer's remote IP address.
• Add etcd --peer-cert-allowed-cn flag.
  • To support CommonName(CN) based auth for inter peer connection.
• Swap priority of cert CommonName(CN) and username + password.
  • To address "username and password specified in the request should take priority over CN in the cert".
• Protect lease revoke with auth.
• Provide user's role on auth permission error.
• Fix auth store panic with disabled token.
• Update golang.org/x/crypto/bcrypt (see golang/crypto@6c586e1).
