Hi folks,

The Vault team is happy to announce the release of Vault 1.7.2!

There is security content pertaining to token expiry under some circumstances in this release; see the SECURITY section of the Changelog at [3] for details.

Open-source binaries can be downloaded at [1]. Enterprise binaries are available to customers as well.

As a reminder, if you believe you have found a security issue in Vault, please responsibly disclose by emailing security@hashicorp.com and do not use the public issue tracker. Our security policy and our PGP key can be found at [2].

The key fixes and improvements in this release are:

  • Core : We added an option to allow hostname and Raft node ID to be returned in response headers
  • Core : We fixed a bug that prevented password policies from being used within namespaces
  • Integrated Storage: We fixed a bug that would cause problems if node IP addresses didn’t match between the internal raft state and the configuration files
  • UI : We fixed some namespace-related UI bugs

See the Changelog at [3] for the full list of improvements and bug fixes.

OSS [5] and Enterprise [6] Docker images will be available soon.

Upgrading

See [4] for general upgrade instructions.

As always, we recommend upgrading and testing this release in an isolated environment. If you experience any non-security issues, please report them on the Vault GitHub issue tracker or post to the Vault Discuss Forum at [7].

We hope you enjoy Vault 1.7.2!

Sincerely, The Vault Team

I build from source, so when will the source code be available on github?

Hi @DrDaveD,

I’ve also commented on the other post (Source code lagging behind security release announcement - #3 by mladlow), but I wanted to follow up here for good measure.

Signed tags are now available (Releases · hashicorp/vault · GitHub). We have rotated the PGP key used to sign the tags, so you may wish to grab a new key to verify. The new public key is available at Security at HashiCorp, as well as Keybase and other PGP key servers.
