Update about Kubernetes August patch releases being delayed
Marko Mudrinić
Dear Kubernetes Community,
Due to some technical problems and Release Manager personnel availability, we had to delay some of Kubernetes August patch releases. The current status is as follows:
v1.28.1: release is currently in progress and is expected in the next 6-8 hours
v1.27.5, v1.26.8, v1.25.12, v1.24.17:
Binary artifacts, container images, and changelogs are available and ready to be used
System (debian and rpm) packages are available in the Kubernetes-community hosted repositories[1], but are yet to be pushed to the Google-hosted repository (ETA is noon Pacific Time)
Official announcements to mailing lists will be made once packages are pushed to the Google-hosted repository
We want to apologize for any inconvenience caused by this delay especially given that these releases include fixes for CVE-2023-3676[2] and CVE-2023-3955[3]. If you have any questions, please reach out to us via the #release-management channel[4] on Slack.
Marko Mudrinić,
On behalf of Kubernetes Release Managers
