Chapter 1. Red Hat Software Collections 3.8

This chapter serves as an overview of the Red Hat Software Collections 3.8 content set. It provides a list of components and their descriptions, sums up changes in this version, documents relevant compatibility information, and lists known issues.

1.1. About Red Hat Software Collections

For certain applications, more recent versions of some software components are often needed in order to use their latest new features. Red Hat Software Collections is a Red Hat offering that provides a set of dynamic programming languages, database servers, and various related packages that are either more recent than their equivalent versions included in the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux system, or are available for this system for the first time.
Red Hat Software Collections 3.8 is available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. For a complete list of components that are distributed as part of Red Hat Software Collections and a brief summary of their features, see Section 1.2, “Main Features”.
Red Hat Software Collections does not replace the default system tools provided with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Instead, a parallel set of tools is installed in the /opt/ directory and can be optionally enabled per application by the user using the supplied scl utility. The default versions of Perl or PostgreSQL, for example, remain those provided by the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux system.

Note

In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, similar components are provided as Application Streams.
All Red Hat Software Collections components are fully supported under Red Hat Enterprise Linux Subscription Level Agreements, are functionally complete, and are intended for production use. Important bug fix and security errata are issued to Red Hat Software Collections subscribers in a similar manner to Red Hat Enterprise Linux for at least two years from the release of each major version. In each major release stream, each version of a selected component remains backward compatible. For detailed information about length of support for individual components, refer to the Red Hat Software Collections Product Life Cycle document.

1.1.1. Red Hat Developer Toolset

Red Hat Developer Toolset is a part of Red Hat Software Collections, included as a separate Software Collection. For more information about Red Hat Developer Toolset, refer to the Red Hat Developer Toolset Release Notes and the Red Hat Developer Toolset User Guide.

1.2. Main Features

Table 1.1, “Red Hat Software Collections Components” lists components that are supported at the time of the Red Hat Software Collections 3.8 release. All Software Collections are currently supported only on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

1.3.4. Changes in nginx

The new rh-nginx120 Software Collection introduces nginx 1.20.1, which provides a number of bug and security fixes, new features, and enhancements over version 1.18.
New features:
  • nginx now supports client SSL certificate validation with Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP).
  • nginx now supports cache clearing based on the minimum amount of free space. This support is implemented as the min_free parameter of the proxy_cache_path directive.
  • A new ngx_stream_set_module module has been added, which enables you to set a value for a variable.
Enhanced directives:
  • Multiple new directives are now available, such as ssl_conf_command and ssl_reject_handshake.
  • The proxy_cookie_flags directive now supports variables.
Improved support for HTTP/2:
  • The ngx_http_v2 module now includes the lingering_close, lingering_time, lingering_timeout directives.
  • Handling connections in HTTP/2 has been aligned with HTTP/1.x. From nginx 1.20, use the keepalive_timeout and keepalive_requests directives instead of the removed http2_recv_timeout, http2_idle_timeout, and http2_max_requests directives.
For more information regarding changes in nginx, refer to the upstream release notes.
For migration instructions, see Section 5.4, “Migrating to nginx 1.20”.

1.3.5. Changes in Redis

The new rh-redis6 Software Collection includes Redis 6.0.16. This version provides multiple enhancements and bug fixes over version 5.0.5 distributed with an earlier Red Hat Software Collections release. Notable changes over Redis 5 include:
  • Redis now supports SSL on all channels.
  • Redis now supports Access Control List (ACL), which defines user permissions for command calls and key pattern access.
  • Redis now supports REdis Serialization Protocol version 3 (RESP3), which returns more semantical replies.
  • Redis can now optionally use threads to handle I/O.
  • Redis now offers server-side support for client-side caching of key values.
  • The Redis active expire cycle has been improved to enable faster eviction of expired keys.
For migration and compatibility notes, see Section 5.5, “Migrating to Redis 6”.
For detailed changes in Redis, see the upstream release notes.

1.3.6. Changes in JDK Mission Control

JDK Mission Control (JMC), provided by the rh-jmc Software Collection, has been upgraded to version 8.0.1, which provides bug and security fixes.

1.3.7. Changes in Apache httpd (asynchronous update)

To fix CVE-2022-29404, the default value for the LimitRequestBody directive in the Apache HTTP Server has been changed from 0 (unlimited) to 1 GiB with the release of the RHSA-2022:6753 advisory.
On systems where the value of LimitRequestBody is not explicitly specified in an httpd configuration file, updating the httpd package sets LimitRequestBody to the default value of 1 GiB. As a consequence, if the total size of the HTTP request body exceeds this 1 GiB default limit, httpd returns the 413 Request Entity Too Large error code.
If the new default allowed size of an HTTP request message body is insufficient for your use case, update your httpd configuration files within the respective context (server, per-directory, per-file, or per-location) and set your preferred limit in bytes. For example, to set a new 2 GiB limit, use: 
LimitRequestBody 2147483648
Systems already configured to use any explicit value for the LimitRequestBody directive are unaffected by this change.

1.4. Compatibility Information

Red Hat Software Collections 3.8 is available for all supported releases of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 on AMD and Intel 64-bit architectures, 64-bit IBM Z, and IBM POWER, little endian.
Certain previously released components are available also for the 64-bit ARM architecture.
For a full list of available components, see Table 1.2, “All Available Software Collections”.

1.5. Known Issues

rh-mariadb component
The rh-mariadb103 Software Collection provides the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) plug-in version 1.0. The rh-mariadb105 Software Collection provides the plug-in versions 1.0 and 2.0, version 2.0 is the default. The PAM plug-in version 1.0 in MariaDB does not work. To work around this problem, use the PAM plug-in version 2.0 provided by rh-mariadb105.
rh-ruby27 component, BZ#1836201
When a custom script requires the Psych YAML parser and afterwards uses the Gem.load_yaml method, running the script fails with the following error message: 
superclass mismatch for class Mark (TypeError)
To work around this problem, add the gem 'psych' line to the script somewhere above the require 'psych' line: 
...
gem 'psych'
...
require 'psych'
Gem.load_yaml
multiple components, BZ#1716378
Certain files provided by the Software Collections debuginfo packages might conflict with the corresponding debuginfo package files from the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux system or from other versions of Red Hat Software Collections components. For example, the python27-python-debuginfo package files might conflict with the corresponding files from the python-debuginfo package installed on the core system. Similarly, files from the httpd24-mod_auth_mellon-debuginfo package might conflict with similar files provided by the base system mod_auth_mellon-debuginfo package. To work around this problem, uninstall the base system debuginfo package prior to installing the Software Collection debuginfo package.
rh-mysql80 component, BZ#1646363
The mysql-connector-java database connector does not work with the MySQL 8.0 server. To work around this problem, use the mariadb-java-client database connector from the rh-mariadb103 Software Collection.
rh-mysql80 component, BZ#1646158
The default character set has been changed to utf8mb4 in MySQL 8.0 but this character set is unsupported by the php-mysqlnd database connector. Consequently, php-mysqlnd fails to connect in the default configuration. To work around this problem, specify a known character set as a parameter of the MySQL server configuration. For example, modify the /etc/opt/rh/rh-mysql80/my.cnf.d/mysql-server.cnf file to read: 
[mysqld]
character-set-server=utf8
httpd24 component, BZ#1429006
Since httpd 2.4.27, the mod_http2 module is no longer supported with the default prefork Multi-Processing Module (MPM). To enable HTTP/2 support, edit the configuration file at /opt/rh/httpd24/root/etc/httpd/conf.modules.d/00-mpm.conf and switch to the event or worker MPM.
Note that the HTTP/2 server-push feature does not work on the 64-bit ARM architecture, 64-bit IBM Z, and IBM POWER, little endian.
httpd24 component, BZ#1224763
When using the mod_proxy_fcgi module with FastCGI Process Manager (PHP-FPM), httpd uses port 8000 for the FastCGI protocol by default instead of the correct port 9000. To work around this problem, specify the correct port explicitly in configuration.
httpd24 component, BZ#1382706
When SELinux is enabled, the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is not passed through to CGI scripts invoked by httpd. As a consequence, in some cases it is impossible to invoke executables from Software Collections enabled in the /opt/rh/httpd24/service-environment file from CGI scripts run by httpd. To work around this problem, set LD_LIBRARY_PATH as desired from within the CGI script.
httpd24 component
Compiling external applications against the Apache Portable Runtime (APR) and APR-util libraries from the httpd24 Software Collection is not supported. The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable is not set in httpd24 because it is not required by any application in this Software Collection.
scl-utils component
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.5 and earlier, due to an architecture-specific macro bug in the scl-utils package, the <collection>/root/usr/lib64/ directory does not have the correct package ownership on the 64-bit ARM architecture and on IBM POWER, little endian. As a consequence, this directory is not removed when a Software Collection is uninstalled. To work around this problem, manually delete <collection>/root/usr/lib64/ when removing a Software Collection.
maven component
When the user has installed both the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system version of maven-local package and the rh-maven*-maven-local package, XMvn, a tool used for building Java RPM packages, run from the Maven Software Collection tries to read the configuration file from the base system and fails. To work around this problem, uninstall the maven-local package from the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux system.
perl component
It is impossible to install more than one mod_perl.so library. As a consequence, it is not possible to use the mod_perl module from more than one Perl Software Collection.
httpd, mariadb, mysql, nodejs, perl, php, python, and ruby components, BZ#1072319
When uninstalling the httpd24, rh-mariadb*, rh-mysql*, rh-nodejs*, rh-perl*, rh-php*, python27, rh-python*, or rh-ruby* packages, the order of uninstalling can be relevant due to ownership of dependent packages. As a consequence, some directories and files might not be removed properly and might remain on the system.
mariadb, mysql components, BZ#1194611
Since MariaDB 10 and MySQL 5.6, the rh-mariadb*-mariadb-server and rh-mysql*-mysql-server packages no longer provide the test database by default. Although this database is not created during initialization, the grant tables are prefilled with the same values as when test was created by default. As a consequence, upon a later creation of the test or test_* databases, these databases have less restricted access rights than is default for new databases.
Additionally, when running benchmarks, the run-all-tests script no longer works out of the box with example parameters. You need to create a test database before running the tests and specify the database name in the --database parameter. If the parameter is not specified, test is taken by default but you need to make sure the test database exists.
mariadb, mysql, postgresql components
Red Hat Software Collections contains the MySQL 8.0, MariaDB 10.3, MariaDB 10.5, PostgreSQL 10, PostgreSQL 12, and PostgreSQL 13 database servers. The core Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 provides earlier versions of the MariaDB and PostgreSQL databases (client library and daemon). Client libraries are also used in database connectors for dynamic languages, libraries, and so on.
The client library packaged in the Red Hat Software Collections database packages in the PostgreSQL component is not supposed to be used, as it is included only for purposes of server utilities and the daemon. Users are instead expected to use the system library and the database connectors provided with the core system.
A protocol, which is used between the client library and the daemon, is stable across database versions, so, for example, using the PostgreSQL 10 client library with the PostgreSQL 12 or 13 daemon works as expected.
mariadb, mysql components
MariaDB and MySQL do not make use of the /opt/provider/collection/root prefix when creating log files. Note that log files are saved in the /var/opt/provider/collection/log/ directory, not in /opt/provider/collection/root/var/log/.

1.6. Other Notes

rh-ruby*, rh-python*, rh-php* components
Using Software Collections on a read-only NFS has several limitations.
  • Ruby gems cannot be installed while the rh-ruby* Software Collection is on a read-only NFS. Consequently, for example, when the user tries to install the ab gem using the gem install ab command, an error message is displayed, for example: 
    ERROR:  While executing gem ... (Errno::EROFS)
    Read-only file system @ dir_s_mkdir - /opt/rh/rh-ruby22/root/usr/local/share/gems
    The same problem occurs when the user tries to update or install gems from an external source by running the bundle update or bundle install commands.
  • When installing Python packages on a read-only NFS using the Python Package Index (PyPI), running the pip command fails with an error message similar to this: 
    Read-only file system: '/opt/rh/rh-python34/root/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/ipython-3.1.0.dist-info'
  • Installing packages from PHP Extension and Application Repository (PEAR) on a read-only NFS using the pear command fails with the error message: 
    Cannot install, php_dir for channel "pear.php.net" is not writeable by the current user
This is an expected behavior.
httpd component
Language modules for Apache are supported only with the Red Hat Software Collections version of Apache httpd and not with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux system versions of httpd. For example, the mod_wsgi module from the rh-python35 Collection can be used only with the httpd24 Collection.
all components
Since Red Hat Software Collections 2.0, configuration files, variable data, and runtime data of individual Collections are stored in different directories than in previous versions of Red Hat Software Collections.
coreutils, util-linux, screen components
Some utilities, for example, su, login, or screen, do not export environment settings in all cases, which can lead to unexpected results. It is therefore recommended to use sudo instead of su and set the env_keep environment variable in the /etc/sudoers file. Alternatively, you can run commands in a reverse order; for example: 
su -l postgres -c "scl enable rh-postgresql94 psql"
instead of 
scl enable rh-postgresql94 bash
su -l postgres -c psql
When using tools like screen or login, you can use the following command to preserve the environment settings: 
source /opt/rh/<collection_name>/enable
python component
When the user tries to install more than one scldevel package from the python27 and rh-python* Software Collections, a transaction check error message is returned. This is an expected behavior because the user can install only one set of the macro files provided by the packages (%scl_python, %scl_prefix_python).
php component
When the user tries to install more than one scldevel package from the rh-php* Software Collections, a transaction check error message is returned. This is an expected behavior because the user can install only one set of the macro files provided by the packages (%scl_php, %scl_prefix_php).
ruby component
When the user tries to install more than one scldevel package from the rh-ruby* Software Collections, a transaction check error message is returned. This is an expected behavior because the user can install only one set of the macro files provided by the packages (%scl_ruby, %scl_prefix_ruby).
perl component
When the user tries to install more than one scldevel package from the rh-perl* Software Collections, a transaction check error message is returned. This is an expected behavior because the user can install only one set of the macro files provided by the packages (%scl_perl, %scl_prefix_perl).
nginx component
When the user tries to install more than one scldevel package from the rh-nginx* Software Collections, a transaction check error message is returned. This is an expected behavior because the user can install only one set of the macro files provided by the packages (%scl_nginx, %scl_prefix_nginx).
python component
To mitigate the Web Cache Poisoning CVE-2021-23336 in the Python urllib library, the default separator for the urllib.parse.parse_qsl and urllib.parse.parse_qs functions is being changed from both ampersand (&) and semicolon (;) to only an ampersand.
This change has been implemented in the python27 and rh-python38 Software Collections with the release of the RHSA-2021:3252 and RHSA-2021:3254 advisories.
The change of the default separator is potentially backwards incompatible, therefore Red Hat provides a way to configure the behavior in Python packages where the default separator has been changed. In addition, the affected urllib parsing functions issue a warning if they detect that a customer's application has been affected by the change.
For more information, see the Mitigation of Web Cache Poisoning in the Python urllib library (CVE-2021-23336) Knowledgebase article.
python component
The release of the RHSA-2021:3254 advisory introduces the following change in the rh-python38 Software Collection:
To mitigate CVE-2021-29921, the Python ipaddress module now rejects IPv4 addresses with leading zeros with an AddressValueError: Leading zeros are not permitted error.
Customers who rely on the previous behavior can pre-process their IPv4 address inputs to strip the leading zeros off. For example: 
>>> def reformat_ip(address): return '.'.join(part.lstrip('0') if part != '0' else part for part in address.split('.'))
>>> reformat_ip('0127.0.0.1')
'127.0.0.1'
To strip the leading zeros off with an explicit loop for readability, use: 
def reformat_ip(address):
    parts = []
    for part in address.split('.'):
        if part != "0":
            part = part.lstrip('0')
        parts.append(part)
    return '.'.join(parts)

1.7. Deprecated Functionality

httpd24 component, BZ#1434053
Previously, in an SSL/TLS configuration requiring name-based SSL virtual host selection, the mod_ssl module rejected requests with a 400 Bad Request error, if the host name provided in the Host: header did not match the host name provided in a Server Name Indication (SNI) header. Such requests are no longer rejected if the configured SSL/TLS security parameters are identical between the selected virtual hosts, in-line with the behavior of upstream mod_ssl.
