Critical bug fixes (upgrade strongly recommended)HDDS-14858
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-14858> — OM requests fail on
JDK 11 with ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.constant.Constable

Impact: If you run Ozone 2.1.0 on JDK 11 or lower, OM operations such as ozone
sh key put can fail with:
RemoteException: java/lang/constant/Constable
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.lang.constant.Constable

Who is affected: Anyone on 2.1.0 + JDK ≤ 11. This is a regression from
AspectJ bytecode generation referencing JDK 12+ APIs.

Action: Upgrade to 2.1.1 if you cannot move to JDK 17+.
------------------------------
HDDS-14778 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-14778> —
ozone-filesystem-shaded protobuf corruption breaks ofs:// clients

Impact: With TRACE logging enabled, Ozone filesystem client operations via
ofs:// can fail at class load time:
ExceptionInInitializerError at OzoneManagerProtocolProtos.<clinit>
Caused by: InvalidProtocolBufferException: Protocol message tag had invalid
wire type

Root cause: Over-broad Maven shade relocation rules (io, kotlin, info,
etc.) corrupted protobuf descriptor bytes inside the shaded JAR. The bug is
latent and can reappear after proto changes.

Who is affected: Users of ozone-filesystem-shaded (Hadoop/OFS integration),
especially with debug/trace logging.

Action: Upgrade to 2.1.1 and rebuild/redeploy shaded client JARs.
------------------------------
Security / authorization behavior changesHDDS-14898
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-14898> & HDDS-14894
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-14894> — Missing ACL checks on
S3 multipart APIs

Impact: Behavior change (tightening). ListParts and
ListMultipartUploads previously
had no ACL checks. They now enforce authorization like other S3 APIs.

Who is affected:

   - STS users with narrowly scoped tokens (e.g., PutObject-only) that
   previously could call these APIs
   - Any workflow that relied on implicit access via multipart upload
   ownership

Action: After upgrade, verify multipart upload workflows and STS session
policies. Previously “working” calls may now return 403 Access Denied.
------------------------------
HDDS-15064 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-15064> — Ranger/STS
S3 action–aware authorization

Impact: API/authorization model change for STS + Apache Ranger integration.

   - Adds s3Action to RequestContext so Ranger can restrict permissions by
   specific S3 action (e.g., distinguish s3:PutObjectTagging from
   s3:DeleteObjectTagging)
   - OzoneGrant now carries a Set<String> of allowed S3 actions for inline
   policies

Who is affected: Clusters using STS temporary credentials with Ranger.
Authorization becomes more granular; tokens may grant less access than
before when S3 actions are explicitly scoped.

Action: Coordinate with your Ranger/Ozone plugin team. This was backported
specifically so Ranger can consume it upstream in 2.1.1.
------------------------------
HDDS-14366 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-14366> — Log4j2 bump
to 2.25.3 (CVE-2025-68161)

Impact: Fixes TLS hostname verification bypass in Log4j2 Socket Appender (MITM
risk for remote log shipping).

Who is affected: Only if you use Log4j2 Socket Appender over TLS with
hostname verification enabled. Most clusters are unaffected unless they
ship logs this way.
------------------------------
Notable operational fixes (lower severity)HDDS-14368
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-14368> — Recon shows wrong
pipelines per container

Impact: Recon UI/API incorrectly showed all pipelines for every container
instead of the container’s actual WRITE pipeline.

Action: Upgrade if you rely on Recon for container/pipeline troubleshooting.
------------------------------
HDDS-13069 <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-13069> — S3 Gateway
shutdown error

Impact: S3 Gateway logged an IllegalStateException from Weld/Jetty during
admin webserver shutdown. Shutdown could appear to fail even though the
process was stopping.

Action: Cosmetic/operational fix; shutdown now completes cleanly (error is
caught and logged).
