Improvements

Fixed security issues and CVEs listed below:

Fixes and other enhancements to fine-tune handling in a managed environment. Additional CVE fixes are below:

Availability improvements:

  • Fixed an issue where Aurora MySQL database instances using parallel query may experience a database restart when running a high number of concurrent parallel queries.

  • Fixed an issue which can cause the executed GTID set to be recovered incorrectly on a binary log (binlog) replica cluster with enhanced binlog enabled when any binlog source has gtid_mode set to ON or ON_PERMISSIVE. This issue may cause the replica cluster's writer instance to restart an additional time during recovery, or lead to incorrect results when querying the executed GTID set.

  • Fixed a memory management issue that can cause an Aurora MySQL database instance restart or a failover due to a decrease in the freeable memory when enhanced binary log is enabled.

  • Fixed an issue which can cause the reader instance to restart when the writer instance grows the database volume to a multiple of 160GB.

  • Fixed an issue where an Aurora MySQL database instance with the enhanced binary log feature enabled might get stuck during the database instance startup as the binary log recovery process is being executed.

  • Fixed an issue during zero downtime patching which causes an instance restart that leads to the database connections being unexpectedly closed.

  • Fixed an issue which can cause a database instance restart due to a deadlatch when running SHOW STATUS and PURGE BINARY LOGS statements concurrently. The purge binary logs is a managed statement that is executed to honor the user configured binlog retention period.

  • Fixed an issue which can cause a database instance restart due to a long semaphore wait when using the enhanced binlog feature on a cluster with an Aurora replica.

General improvements:

  • Removed unused storage metadata before writing to Aurora storage when the enhanced binlog feature is enabled. This avoids certain scenarios when a database restart or failover may occur because of increased write latency due to increased bytes transmitted over the network.

  • Fixed an issue which can cause the NumBinaryLogFiles metrics on CloudWatch to display incorrect results when enhanced binlog is enabled.

  • Fixed an issue which can cause the modification of the table_open_cache database parameter to not take effect until the database instance is restarted.

  • Fixed an issue which can cause a database restart when connected binary log (binlog) consumers are using duplicate binlog replication server IDs.

Integration of MySQL Community Edition bug fixes

This release includes all community bug fixes up to and including 8.0.26, in addition to the below. For more information, see MySQL bugs fixed by Aurora MySQL 3.x database engine updates.

  • Fixed an issue which can cause higher CPU utilization due to background TLS certificate rotation (Community Bug Fix #34284186)
