Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform release 4.1.3 is now available with
updates to packages and images that fix several bugs.

Description

Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform is Red Hat's cloud computing
Kubernetes application platform solution designed for on-premise or private
cloud deployments.

This advisory contains the RPM packages for Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform 4.1.3. See the following advisory for the container images for this release:

https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2019:1589

This update fixes the following bugs:

• In OpenShift Docker builds, `.dockerignore` files were not processed

before content was sent to the Docker daemon. As a result, images included
content that should have been excluded. Now, the engine for building
container images was switched to `buildah` and `.dockerignore` files in
source repositories are respected during Docker strategy builds.
(BZ#1487356)

• A white screen with no error message would appear in the web console if

trying to create an operator resource immediately after installing an
operator through Operator Hub. Now, an error message is presented in the
web console if trying to create a resource before it is available.
(BZ#1709964)

• Environment variables were not properly escaped in the source-to-image

generated Dockerfile. As a result, source strategy builds, which included
shell variables, would fail. Now, environment variables are properly
escaped when the Dockerfile is consumed by buildah. Builds can now use
shell variables as an environment variable value. (BZ#1713681)

• Previously, the web console `NetworkPolicy` YAML template

`api-allow-http-and-https` was incorrect and couldn't be created without
modifications. This has been fixed, and the template now works as intended.
(BZ#1717996)

• The web console `NetworkPolicy` YAML template `web-allow-production` had

incorrect indentation, preventing it from being created successfully. The
indentation has been fixed, and the YAML template now works as intended.
(BZ#1717997)

• A race condition existed between the MCO and the growpart service. As a

result, bootstrapping would fail. Now, the growpart service has been
updated to start before `kubelet.service` and the race condition is
averted. (BZ#1720872)

All OpenShift Container Platform 4.1 users are advised to upgrade to these
updated packages and images.
