This release updates the snakeyaml dependency from 1.32 to 2.0, because version 1.32 is vulnerable to CVE-2022-1471.
Note that jmx_exporter uses snakeyaml only to parse its config file. That means unless you have untrusted 3rd parties write your jmx_exporter config the CVE does not apply. However, if you have automated security scanners complaining about the vulnerable snakeyaml version this update will help.
As always, the jmx_exporter binaries are available on Maven central:
- jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.18.0.jar requires Java >= 7.
- jmx_prometheus_javaagent-0.18.0_java6.jar is compatible with Java 6.
- jmx_prometheus_httpserver-0.18.0.jar requires Java >= 7.
- jmx_prometheus_httpserver-0.18.0_java6.jar is compatible with Java 6.
