Release (maybe this week)

• OSG 3.6 enters critical bug and security only support starting March 31, EOL June 30 (https://osg-htc.org/docs/release/release_series/#installing-an-osg-release-series)
• VOMS 2.10.0-0.31.rc3.1
• Probably XRootD 5.6.7. Looking for testers!

Security

• Update your Docker/runc/etc versions: https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2024-21626
  • I don't believe that this is a critical issue for batch computing as breakouts would only result in a breakout to an unprivileged user
  • Kubernetes sites are possibly more problematic, depending on how much you control images/trust your users
• OSG Security team will be attending WLCG SOC

Kubernetes Accounting

• Awaiting access to UTA k8s
• In our court to provide credentials for read access to NET2 k8s
