date: '2022-06-09' sections: security_fixes: - Packages have been updated to the latest security versions. bugs: - An internal script to validate hostnames in the {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} configuration file would return an error if the hostname string started with a "." (period character). - In HA configurations where the primary node's hostname was longer than 60 characters, MySQL would fail to be configured. - When {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} was enabled but TLS was disabled on {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} 3.4.1 and later, applying a configuration update would fail. - The `--gateway` argument was added to the `ghe-setup-network` command, to allow passing the gateway address when configuring network settings using the command line. - The [{% data variables.product.prodname_GH_advanced_security %} billing API](/rest/enterprise-admin/billing#get-github-advanced-security-active-committers-for-an-enterprise) endpoints were not enabled and accessible. - Image attachments that were deleted would return a `500 Internal Server Error` instead of a `404 Not Found` error. - In environments configured with a repository cache server, the `ghe-repl-status` command incorrectly showed gists as being under-replicated. - The "Get a commit" and "Compare two commits" endpoints in the [Commit API](/rest/commits/commits) would return a `500` error if a file path in the diff contained an encoded and escaped unicode character. - The calculation of "maximum committers across entire instance" reported in the site admin dashboard was incorrect. - An incorrect database entry for repository replicas caused database corruption when performing a restore using {% data variables.product.prodname_enterprise_backup_utilities %}. - The activity timeline for secret scanning alerts wasn't displayed. changes: - Optimised the inclusion of metrics when generating a cluster support bundle. - In HA configurations where Elasticsearch reported a valid yellow status, changes introduced in a previous fix would block the `ghe-repl-stop` command and not allow replication to be stopped. Using `ghe-repo-stop --force` will now force Elasticsearch to stop when the service is in a normal or valid yellow status. known_issues: - On a freshly set up {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} instance without any users, an attacker could create the first admin user. - Custom firewall rules are removed during the upgrade process. - Git LFS tracked files [uploaded through the web interface](https://github.com/blog/2105-upload-files-to-your-repositories) are incorrectly added directly to the repository. - Issues cannot be closed if they contain a permalink to a blob in the same repository, where the blob's file path is longer than 255 characters. - When "Users can search GitHub.com" is enabled with {% data variables.product.prodname_github_connect %}, issues in private and internal repositories are not included in {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom_the_website %} search results. - The {% data variables.product.prodname_registry %} npm registry no longer returns a time value in metadata responses. This was done to allow for substantial performance improvements. We continue to have all the data necessary to return a time value as part of the metadata response and will resume returning this value in the future once we have solved the existing performance issues. - Resource limits that are specific to processing pre-receive hooks may cause some pre-receive hooks to fail. - | After registering a self-hosted runner with the `--ephemeral` parameter on more than one level (for example, both enterprise and organization), the runner may get stuck in an idle state and require re-registration. [Updated: 2022-06-17] - After upgrading to {% data variables.product.prodname_ghe_server %} 3.4, releases may appear to be missing from repositories. This can occur when the required Elasticsearch index migrations have not successfully completed. - '{% data reusables.release-notes.ghas-3.4-secret-scanning-known-issue %}' - | GitHub Pages builds may time out on instances in AWS that are configured for high availability.
