v1.7.2 Release Notes

1.7.2 is a minor release rebuilding cert-manager 1.7 using the latest version of Go. This eliminates a few security vulnerabilities which have accumulated in Go since the last release.

We don't believe any of those vulnerabilities were practically exploitable or relevant to cert-manager, but we decided to rebuild to keep up to date anyway.

Changelog since cert-manager 1.7.1

Bug or Regression

• Bumps the version of Go used to build the cert-manager binaries to 1.17.8, to fix a slew of CVEs (none of which were likely to be exploited) (#4976 , @vhosakot)
• Fixes an expired hardcoded certificate which broke unit tests (#4978, @SgtCoDFish @jakexks)
