Security
--------
- Fix the CVE-2021-31607 vulnerability
Additionally, an audit and a tool was put in place, ``bandit``, to address similar issues througout the code base, and prevent them. (CVE-2021-31607)

- check for a docker error that the swarm already exists when calling swarm.swarm_init on an existing docker swarm (#55949)
- Fixing stalekey engine so it deletes the keys when they are a list. (#55977)
- An invalid _schedule.conf configuration file is renamed to _schedule.confYAMLError.
This avoids disabling the minion and busy polling the CPU on Windows. (#56216, #58177)
- Proper calculation of tpldir and related context parameters (#56410)
- Make gpg.encrypt examples work (#56646)
- Artifactory encoding of headers fixed for py3 (#56660)
- Fixed handling of extents extended attribute in file.managed state. (#57189)
- Remove buggy start parameter from virt.pool_running docstring (#57275)
- Fixed saltcheck rendering of map.jinja files from saltenv (#57327)

- Fix the registration of libvirt pool and nodedev events (#57746)
- Pass cmd.run state arguments to unless and onlyif when they exist (#57760)
- The 2004 release of Windows 10 introduced a bug in the InstallationBehavior COM
object where you can no longer get properties from that object. Calls to this
object are now wrapped in a try/except block with sane defaults when it fails to
read attributes.
Additionally, some pre-flight checks have been added to the win_wua module to
make sure Windows Update can actually run. (#57762)
- Changed get_repo in yumpkg.py to use "repo" as first parameter.
This fixes #57778, a bug were every run of pkgrepo.managed state were
marked as changed because the get_repo did fail to detect a previously
applied run. (#57778)
- Raise SaltClientError in parse_host_port insted of ValueError so it is caught and handled properly when the minion is connecting to the master. (#57789)
- Fixed issue with the return dictionary from the workgroup() function in the
salt.states.win_system module. This resulted in a windows-based minion logging
an error and could also interfere with a highstate being applied. (#57790)
- Fixes broken block_device_mapping and block_device_mapping_v2 type checks in
the OpenStack cloud driver. Salt was looking for a dict and the shade library
was looking for a list of dicts. This made it impossible to use those params. (#57802)
- Fixed incorrect parsing of ``Set-Cookie`` response headers. (#57829)
- When using yumpkg, report stdout when stderr is redirected to stdout. (#57862)
- Fixes an issue on macOS where if you try and restart the macOS using serivce.restart salt-minion it would fail because the service names are different on macOS. (#57878)
- Fixes an issue on macOS where salt would take extra time to run on a service.dead call and the service is missing. (#57907)
- Fixes an issue where a disabled macOS and Windows service would fail to start with service.running. (#57908)
- Use "use_bin_type" to differentiate between bytes and str when writing cache
for pillar and grains. (#57918)
- Set the comment to "No minions responded" if salt.function fails to find any
minions (#57920)
- Fix issue with `__utils__` usage in the `__virtual__` functions on a few of the
execution modules. (#57948)
- remove encoding kwarg for both pack(b)/unpack(b) in msgpack for versions >=1.0.0
- Replace deprecated `cgi.escape()` with `html.escape()` after it was removed from Python 3.8. (#57983)
- Fix btrfs state decorator, that produces exceptions when creating subvolumes. (#58012)
- Fix kubeadm token_list when the list of tokens is empty (#58116)

- Fix blank tplfile context parameter when loading top level sls files (#58249)
- Do not include init directory in sls context parameters if explicitly specified (#58250)
- Fixing pillar caching when pillar environments are involved. (#58274)
- Make proxy_config read in the proxy specific configuration which is typically found in /etc/salt/proxy.d/minionid/. (#58307)
- Add timeout kwarg docs for service.running and service.dead (#58311)
- Return empty dict on win_pdh.get_counters rather than raising exception when no data are available (#58327)
- Leave boot parameters untouched if boot parameter is set to None in virt.update (#58331)
- Convert disks of volume type to file or block disks on Xen (#58333)
- Apparently Apple is using both "10.16" and "11" for versioning Big Sur,
depending on where you look. The mac_softwareupdate module uses a different
regex depending on OS version, and the determination was based on the
osrelease_info grain. This results in a Big Sur machine not using the correct
regex; osrelease_info[1] is 0 for Big Sur.
This change simply adds an additional clause to the if statement to handle
osmajorrelease > 10. (#58340)
- Fixed zmq salt-call hang!
Some objects from the 3rd party module zmq fail to deconstruct if left to the GC when Python exits.
This is because the objects get destroyed out of order.
This only happens on some platforms like ubuntu 20.04 and some versions of FreeBSD.
We fixed this hang by deconstructing all zmq objects in the right order before we exit salt-call. (#58364)
- Reactor runner functions will now ensure reactor system is available before attempting to run and error out if it is not available. (#58384)
- Fix enpoint typos (#58416)
- Make sure we repopulate ``__utils__`` on Windows when a job is run from the scheduler. (#58437)
- Adding a check when a source is an HTTP or FTP URL to do a query to ensure the URL is valid before returning, then we know if we need to move onto to the next source in the list or not. (#58441)
- Improved documentation for the LGPO state module (#58521)
- Remove old documented pending reboot key (#58530)
- On macOS, skip GUI dialog for Developer Command Line Tools when importing gitfs util. (#58575)
- Fixing a use case when multiple inotify beacons are defined but when notifications are fired the configuration from the first beacon are used. (#58655)
Added
-----
- Salt Api
========
salt-api will now work on Windows platforms with limited support. You will be
able to configure the ``rest_cherrypy`` module, without ``pam`` external
authentication and without ssl support.
Example configuration:
.. code-block:: yaml
external_auth:
auto:
saltuser:
-.*
rest_cherrypy:
host: 127.0.0.1
port: 8000 (#49949)
- Added `execution_timeout` support to `chocolatey.installed` state (#50449)
- Add new verify_ssl option to file modules. This allows a user to not validate the server certificate for HTTPS source and source hash's. (#52663)
- Added list target type support to the `scan` salt-ssh roster. (#52675)
- Added pvresize and lvextend to linux_lvm (#56089)
- Added COPR option to states.pkgrepo (#57258)
- Add "get_return" key for onlyif and unless requisites to parse deep module results (#57470)
- Allow setting VM boot devices order in virt.running and virt.defined states (#57544)
- Added grains to show the LVM Volume Groups and their Logical Volumes. (#57629)
- Memory Tuning Support which allows much greater control of memory allocation (#57639)
- Add output filter to saltcheck to only display test failures (#57788)
- ### Description
Add profile block and profiling of import_* jinja calls.
Version 3001.8 is a bug fix release for :ref:`3001 <release-3001>`.
Fixed
-----
- Verify the owner of an existing config before trusting it during install. If the owner cannot be verified, back it up and use defaults. (CVE-2021-22004)
Security
--------
- Fix the CVE-2021-31607 vulnerability
Additionally, an audit and a tool was put in place, ``bandit``, to address similar issues througout the code base, and prevent them. (CVE-2021-31607)
- Ensure that sourced file is cached using its hash name (cve-2021-21996)
- When running scheduled jobs from a proxy minion with multiprocessing turned off (default) a recursive error occurs as __pub_fun_args is repeated over and over again in the kwargs element in the data dictionary. Now we make a copy of data['kwargs'] instead of using a reference. (#57941)
- The `x509.certificate_managed` state no longer triggers a change because of sorting issues if the certificate being evaluated was previously generated under Python 2. (#56556)
- Added support to lo ip alias in network.managed state by checking if lo inet data
from network.interfaces contains label with the name of managed interface.
Return status True if match found. (#56901)
- Redact passwords in the return when setting credentials using
``win_iis.container_setting`` (#57285)
- Fixes issue with cmd.powershell. Some powershell commands do not return
anything in stdout. This causes the JSON parser to fail because an empty string
is not valid JSON. This changes an empty string to `{}` which is valid JSON and
will not cause the JSON loader to stacktrace. (#57493)
seconds are wasted when the esxi grain loads vsphere before noting that
the OS is not a esxi host. (#57529)
- Fixed permissions issue with certain pip/virtualenv states/modules when configured for non-root user. (#57550)
- Allow running nox sessions either using our `nox-py2 fork <https://github.com/s0undt3ch/nox/tree/hotfix/py2-release>`_ or upstream `nox <https://github.com/theacodes/nox>`_. (#57583)
- Fixes issue with lgpo.get when there are unicode characters in the hostname (#57591)
- Fixes issue with virtual block devices, like loopbacks and LVMs, wrongly
populating the "disks" or "ssds" grains. (#57612)
- Due to some optimization the `virtual` grain was never updated on illumos. Move the fallback in prtdiag output parsing outside the loop that now gets skipped due to the command exiting non-zero. (#57714)
- Grains module delkey and delval methods now support the force option. This is
needed for deleting grains with complex (nested) values. (#57718)
- Moving import salt.modules.vsphere into `__virtual__` so we have access to test proxytype in opts,
previously this was causing a traceback when run on proxy minion as `__opts__` does not exist
outside of any functions. Introducing a new utils function, is_proxytype, to check that the
device is a proxy minion and also that the proxy type matches. (#57743)
- Fixed fail_with_changes in the test state to use the comment argument when passed. (#57766)
- Adds a fix so salt can run on the latest macOS version Big Sur. (#57787)
- Fixes UnpackValueError when using GPG cache by using atomic open. (#57798)
- The ``gid_from_name`` argument was removed from the ``user.present`` state in
version 3001, with no deprecation path. It has been restored and put on a
proper deprecation path. (#57843)
- Fixes dictionary being changed during iteration. (#57845)
- Now require pycryptodomex for crypto on all platforms. (#56625)
- Updated to sphinx 3.0.1 when building docs. (#56671)
- Now `__salt__` is automatically refreshed when a package is `pip` installed, allowing pip installing a dependency and using that dependency in the same state run. (#56867)
- Use pygit2>=1.2.0 for Python>=3.8. (#56905)
- Now provides a more meaningful error for `win_groupadd` for unmapped accounts. (#56921)
- Significantly improve call times by only checking one frame in `depends`. (#57062)
- Salt scripts shebang now specifies `python3`. (#57083)
- Upgraded dependency to use boto3>=1.13.5. (#57161)
- Changed to consistent file location handling across APIs for Juniper network devices. (#57399)
- Use Python's hashlib (sha256) instead of shelling out (SipHash24) to generate server_id. (#57415)
- Added ARPCHECK to the template for RHEL8 networking. (#57047)
- Fixed `aptpkg` to use `force-confnew` on it's own, and `force-confold` with `force-confdef`. (#57051)
- Fixed acme.certs state to return /etc/letsencrypt/live subdirectories (#57056)
- Fixed error with `fileserver.update` failing with `gitfs` backend was `git`, and `fileserver.clear_file_list_cache` not clearing gitfs cache when the backend was *not*`git`. (#57063)
- Fixed LazyLoader crashing when using ssh client via salt-api. (#57119)
- Added support for ipaddr/ipv6ipaddrs, loopback devices, dns_nameservers/dns_serach lists or strings, and multiple addresses per interface. (#49355)
- Added slsutil.banner for creating managed by salt message in files, and `slsutil.boolstr` for converting Pillar bool values to appropriate string representation. (#49396)
