Summary

This release primarily focuses on numerous security fixes across various components, including Authz, HTTP/3, TLS, and various filters. It also disables the Intel DLB connection balancer extension by default.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • The contrib extension "envoy.network.connection_balance.dlb" (Intel DLB connection balancer) is disabled at the Bazel layer for all builds and platforms due to a source archive breakage. Local workarounds are available via https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/45491.

Migration Steps

  1. If using the Intel DLB connection balancer, note that it is disabled by default; consult https://github.com/envoyproxy/envoy/issues/45491 for local workarounds if needed.
