jmx_exporter 0.17.1 is available

[Fabian Stäber]

Hello everyone,

We just released jmx_exporter 0.17.1.

This is a minor release updating the snakeyaml dependency from 1.30 to 1.31, because version 1.30 is vulnerable to CVE-2022-25857.

Note that jmx_exporter uses snakeyaml only to parse its config file. That means unless you have untrusted 3rd parties write your jmx_exporter config the CVE does not apply. However, if you have automated security scanners complaining about the vulnerable snakeyaml version this update will help.

As always, the jmx_exporter binaries are available on Maven central:

• jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.17.1.jar requires Java >= 7.
• jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.17.1_java6.jar is compatible with Java 6.
• jmx_prometheus_httpserver-0.17.1.jar requires Java >= 7.
• jmx_prometheus_httpserver-0.17.1_java6.jar is compatible with Java 6.
