Breaking Changes

Issue #1

The contrib extension `envoy.network.connection_balance.dlb` (Intel DLB connection balancer) has been disabled at the Bazel layer for all builds and platforms due to a source archive breakage. Users relying on this extension must use local workarounds as described in https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/45491.

Migration Steps

  1. 1
    If using the Intel DLB connection balancer (`envoy.network.connection_balance.dlb`), consult https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/45491 for local workarounds, as it is disabled by default.

Release Summary

Release v1.36.9 primarily incorporates numerous upstream security fixes from Envoy, addressing vulnerabilities ranging from crashes and buffer overflows to protocol smuggling and DoS risks. Additionally, the Intel DLB connection balancer extension has been disabled due to upstream source breakage.
