Summary of changes

Breaking changes

  • build: Envoy now uses Bazel 8. Because Envoy still uses WORKSPACE mode, --enable_workspace and --noenable_bzlmod are required and have been added to .bazelrc; external-repository runfiles now appear directly under the runfiles root.
  • build: the Intel DLB connection balancer (envoy.network.connection_balance.dlb) is disabled for all builds due to a broken source archive.
  • TLS: enforce_rsa_key_usage is deprecated and ignored; Envoy now always enforces the certificate keyUsage extension.
  • TLS inspector: client TLS versions are validated and must be between TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.3 (revertible via envoy.reloadable_features.tls_inspector_enforce_client_tls_version).
  • OpenTelemetry tracing: the tracer now honors Envoy's request-entry sampling decision, including overall_sampling, even when propagated trace context or the configured sampler requests sampling. This may reduce exported spans.

Security

  • HTTP/2 now counts uncompressed cookies toward header-size and header-count limits (CVE-2026-47774), strengthens PRIORITY/WINDOW_UPDATE flood protection, and adds configurable nghttp2 RST_STREAM rate limits.
  • HTTP/3 fixes cover QPACK blocked-decoding denial of service (GHSA-p7c7-7c47-pwch) and inconsistent headers-only content-length handling (CVE-2026-48743).
  • Security fixes were added for ext_authz (CVE-2026-47205), ext_proc (CVE-2026-47207), gRPC stats (CVE-2026-47204), internal redirects (CVE-2026-47221), and OAuth2 lifecycle handling (CVE-2026-48090).
  • OAuth2 adds AES-256-GCM cookie encryption to address CVE-2026-47775. Migration is opt-in: enable oauth2_use_gcm_encryption, monitor oauth_legacy_cbc_decrypt, then disable oauth2_legacy_cbc_decrypt_compat.
  • Additional fixes cover DNS query validation (CVE-2026-48497), JSON nesting limits (CVE-2026-48042), PROXY protocol TLV smuggling (CVE-2026-47692), formatter crashes (CVE-2026-47220), TCP StatsD overflow (CVE-2026-48706), TLS SAN NUL handling (CVE-2026-47778), and Zstd decompression memory exhaustion (CVE-2026-48044).
  • New upstream RBAC and dynamic-forward-proxy resolved-address filtering provide CIDR-based protection against SSRF after DNS resolution and host selection.

Dynamic modules

  • New extension points: access-log/header formatters, downstream and upstream transport sockets, active health checkers, and stats sinks.
  • Cluster load balancers can read host stats, read and write dynamic metadata and filter state, and publish main-thread state to worker-local slots.
  • Modules can emit metrics from configuration and background contexts; loading and initialization failures now expose server-wide counters tagged by extension instance.
  • Added validation-mode detection, network/listener attribute access, batched header and metadata APIs, effective log-level access, and zero-copy borrowed buffers in the Rust SDK.
  • Fixed listener HTTP-callout crashes, watermark initialization, streaming-response re-entry, independent decode/encode continuation, CatchUnwind re-entry, Struct configuration handling, and HTTP/TCP bridge buffer overflow with more than 64 slices.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) and AI protocols

  • Added a Wuffs-backed streaming JSON parser for MCP, A2A, OpenAI, Anthropic, and related protocols, with bounded field capture, incremental parsing, no DOM allocation, and duplicate-key detection.
  • MCP filtering now exposes processing status, supports configurable duplicate-key rejection, and improves oversized-body behavior for pass-through and rejection modes.
  • MCP router adds elicitation and server-to-client request routing, plus lazy per-backend initialization.
  • MCP JSON REST Bridge adds per-route tool configuration and locally generated tools/list responses.

HTTP, routing and protocol

  • New HTTP filters provide weighted bandwidth sharing and selectable sub-filter chains with per-route configuration.
  • HeaderMatcher now evaluates separately supplied header values individually instead of matching only their comma-joined representation (revertible via envoy.reloadable_features.match_headers_individually).
  • HTTP inspector uses Balsa by default and now fast-fails invalid non-HTTP method bytes instead of buffering up to 64 KiB.
  • Added drain-timeout and maximum-connection-duration jitter to reduce synchronized reconnect spikes.
  • Routing gains cluster refresh on retries, weighted-cluster reselection, formatter/CEL-based redirect paths, and mixed literal/variable URI-template segments.
  • Fixed connection-pool re-entrancy, connectivity-grid teardown and duplicate-attempt bugs, stale on-demand cluster information, and handling of HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 RST_STREAM(NO_ERROR) after complete responses.

TLS, authentication and authorization

  • Added CNSA 1.0/2.0 compliance policies, TLS group formatters for identifying post-quantum key exchange, and suppression of oversized client CA lists.
  • QUIC supports opt-in TLS key logging and session-ticket resumption.
  • TLS certificate compression via the brotli runtime guard is disabled by default; TLS sockets also gain improved connection-reset reporting.
  • OAuth2 adds PRIVATE_KEY_JWT, ID-token forwarding, configurable post-logout redirects, access-token-based cookie lifetime, and safe original-request URI formatting with redirect-domain allowlists.
  • BasicAuth supports missing-credential pass-through and authenticated-username metadata; JWT extraction can mark forwarded claims whose signatures were not verified.

DNS, load balancing and upstream

  • The unified DNS cluster implementation is enabled by default; equivalent c-ares resolvers can be shared across clusters to support shared qcache.
  • DNS clusters gain a minimum TTL refresh floor, while dynamic forward proxy sub-clusters can use DnsCluster configuration and resolved-address CIDR filtering.
  • Client-side weighted round robin adds out-of-band ORCA reporting with configurable port, authority, and transport socket matching.
  • Least-request load balancing can optionally account for pending requests, with a new per-endpoint pending-request gauge.
  • Fixed EDS hostname updates, load reports containing only custom metrics or completed requests, and dynamic-forward-proxy lookup teardown.

Networking and system performance

  • Linux deployments gain worker CPU affinity and an SO_REUSEPORT BPF connection balancer for CPU-local connection steering.
  • Added a Linux sockmap socket interface for accelerating same-host TCP traffic through eBPF.
  • io_uring adds multishot receives, adaptive read buffers, and configurable write backpressure.
  • Reverse tunnels gain opt-in GOAWAY-aware draining and replacement; MySQL proxy adds downstream TLS termination with caching_sha2_password mediation.
  • Added UDP proxy external authorization, network ext_proc metadata reception, and early external-processor stream closure.

Observability

  • New access-log data includes upstream TLS SNI and HTTP/TCP downstream/upstream connection duration points; gRPC access logging adds delivery success/failure counters.
  • Added dynamic-module and Wasm programmable stats sinks, OpenTelemetry metric request chunking, endpoint observability names, and default-tag overrides.
  • Prometheus scraping and large-scale stat-reference release are substantially faster; /peak_heap_dump exposes tcmalloc's peak heap profile.
  • Added process-wide Lua and Wasm VM gauges, single-entry stack traces, and an Envoy-version log-format token.
  • Tap now honors configured runtime sampling and reports sampled-out requests/connections.

Rate limiting and configuration

  • Rate limiting adds static and dynamic per-descriptor limit overrides, zero-token always-reject behavior, and configurable response-metadata namespaces.
  • GCP authentication supports bound access tokens, bound JWTs, and unbound access tokens from the metadata server.
  • Added file-backed IP tagging, in-place watched-file modification events, runtime-adjustable fixed-heap limits, health-check HTTP status events, and xDS unsubscribe callbacks.
  • Redis proxy adds Redis 7.4 hash-field expiry commands and permits custom commands inside transactions.

Other notable changes and fixes

  • Fixed Hickory DNS resolver leaks and use-after-free, file-server cancellation use-after-free, Golang filter re-entry, outlier-detection teardown, missing network namespaces, and asynchronous TLS close handling.
  • Fixed RTDS guard removal, VHDS subscriptions, Wasm VM cache invalidation when environment variables change, and upstream Wasm metric scoping.
  • Improved UDP proxy attempted-host and address logging, Zipkin timestamp trace IDs, gRPC access-log failure accounting, and health-check event detail.
  • Added TCP proxy delayed route selection, drain-close handling, and connection-duration access logging.

@publish-envoy publish-envoy released this 10 Jun 23:13

Summary of changes:

  • Bug fixes:

    • runtime: fixed RTDS runtime guard override removal so deleting an override restores the process-wide runtime guard value to the default value.
  • New features:

    • http2: added opt-in histograms for HTTP/2 header statistics, including header-entry count, header-map byte size, reassembled cookie header length, and individual cookie header count. Enable with envoy.reloadable_features.http2_record_histograms; the histograms and runtime guard will be removed in a future Envoy release.
    • http2: added envoy.reloadable_features.http2_max_cookies_size_in_kb to limit the size of the reassembled cookie header. By default, no cookie-size limit is enforced.

v1.38.1

Choose a tag to compare

@publish-envoy publish-envoy released this 04 Jun 19:28

Summary of changes:

  • Security fixes:

    • CVE-2026-47774: http2: HTTP/2 streams are now reset if they violate the configured maximum header list size. Uncompressed cookies now count towards mutable_max_request_headers_kb and max_headers_count limits, protecting against an HPACK cookie-bomb that could cause excessive memory usage. This can be reverted with envoy.reloadable_features.http2_include_cookies_in_limits.
    • oauth2: fixed a timing side-channel in HMAC verification that could leak HMAC secret validity.
    • oauth2: fixed a crash where AES-CBC decryption of token cookies could spuriously succeed (~1/256) on a secret mismatch, tripping a HeaderString validation assert.
    • CVE-2026-27135: http2: applied nghttp2 CVE-2026-27135 patch.
  • Bug fixes:

    • dynamic_modules: fixed a crash in the HTTP filter when a stream was already above the downstream write-buffer high watermark at filter-chain construction time.
  • Minor behavior changes:

    • router: the upstream transport failure reason is no longer included in the HTTP response body sent to downstream clients (still available in access logs via %UPSTREAM_TRANSPORT_FAILURE_REASON%). Revert with envoy.reloadable_features.hide_transport_failure_reason_in_response_body.
    • upstream: load balancer rebuild coalescing during EDS batch host updates is now opt-in. Re-enable with envoy.reloadable_features.coalesce_lb_rebuilds_on_batch_update.
