Re: Solr cloud most stable version

[Lars Karlsson]

Its really hard to filter through the issues in Jira,  710 open
major/critical issues since 2010, using this query:

project = SOLR AND issuetype = Bug And priority in (Blocker,Critical,
Major) AND status in (Open, "In Progress", Reopened) ORDER BY createdDate
ASC

Are there any performance tests done on solr for each release?

Re: Solr cloud most stable version

[Nawab Zada Asad Iqbal]

Hi Lars

Although, that doesn't really answer of whether 6.6.1 is the most stable
one or not, but there has been a recent security fix, so definitely go to
6.6.1 .

Copied the detail below:-



CVE-2017-9803: Security vulnerability in kerberos delegation token
functionality

Severity: Important

Vendor:
The Apache Software Foundation

Versions Affected:
Apache Solr 6.2.0 to 6.6.0

Description:

Solr's Kerberos plugin can be configured to use delegation tokens,
which allows an application to reuse the authentication of an end-user
or another application.
There are two issues with this functionality (when using
SecurityAwareZkACLProvider type of ACL provider e.g.
SaslZkACLProvider),

Firstly, access to the security configuration can be leaked to users
other than the solr super user. Secondly, malicious users can exploit
this leaked configuration for privilege escalation to further
expose/modify private data and/or disrupt operations in the Solr
cluster.

The vulnerability is fixed from Solr 6.6.1 onwards.

Mitigation:
6.x users should upgrade to 6.6.1

Solr cloud most stable version

[Lars Karlsson]

Hi, wanted to check if anyone can help guide with most stable version
between

6.3 and 6.6.1

Which should I choose ?

And, are there any performance tests that one can look at for each release?
