Announcing Updates to 21.1 and 21.8 Altinity Stable Builds
We keep our promise to support and deliver Altinity Stable Builds for ClickHouse. These builds undergo additional testing from our side, are built in a secure environment, are signed and are maintained for 3 years. In the previous month we have released two updates to 2021 releases, but did not announce them officially on the Altinity Blog. Now we are fixing the gap.
Altinity Stable Build for ClickHouse 21.1.11.3
This is a security update to 21.1.10.3 release. It backports fixes for several CVEs into 21.1 version:
As we discussed in a recent Altinity Blog article, JFrog discovered these CVEs and reported them to the Yandex team in 2021. The CVEs have been already included in 21.3.19 and 21.8.11 and Altinity.Stable and ClickHouse builds and all ClickHouse builds after 21.10. We have now backported the fixes to 21.1 as part of our long-term maintenance policy for Altinity Stable builds.
We recommend all users running ClickHouse 21.1 upgrade to this version.
