Detailed change log:
-
GeoServer issue tracker changelog from 2.19.3 to 2.20.2
Security considerations:
-
GeoCat recommends upgrading to take advantage of the latest security fixes
-
GeoServer uses the log4j1 library, and not the log4j2 library with wildly publicized remote code execution vulnerabilities.
Out of an abundance of caution this release includes a patched log4j1 library removing all possibilities of remote loggers and socket communication.
-
GeoCat respects the GeoServer responsible disclosure policy, contact us directly to discuss for a list of known security vulnerabilities.
Known issues:
- GeoServer known issues for 2.20.2
