Full changelog

SECURITY ADVISORIES:

  • Previous releases in the v1.11 series could potentially take an excessive amount of time and send extraneous data to an HTTP2 server that specifies a maximum frame size of zero. This is now fixed. (#4094)

    An attacker that can coerce an operator to install a dependency from an attacker-controlled server could use this to cause unexpected resource consumption during tofu init.
