Anchore Enterprise Release Notes - Version 6.2.1
Anchore Enterprise v6.2.1
Enterprise Service
Anchore Enterprise v6.2.1 is a maintenance release for v6.2.0. It updates the AnchoreCTL build distributed with the Enterprise image to v6.2.2, which corrects a policy check command that never returned to the shell, and refreshes the supporting libraries and operating system packages in the image. The Enterprise services themselves are unchanged: there is no database schema change, and no configuration or API change.
Requirements
- Anchore Enterprise v6.x requires PostgreSQL 17 or greater with the pg_cron extension installed and accessible by Anchore Enterprise. Pre-flight checks verify at startup that the database version and required extensions are working correctly, and the deployment will fail to start if these requirements are not met.
- SBOM ingestion in v6.x drives larger parallel query plans against PostgreSQL, which use dynamic shared memory
(
/dev/shmon Linux). Docker’s default tmpfs of 64 MiB is insufficient for typical SBOM workloads. Operators running PostgreSQL on Kubernetes or self-managed hosts should size/dev/shmto at least 1 GiB - see Shared Memory for full guidance. Managed databases (Amazon RDS, Aurora) are unaffected.
Fixes
- The AnchoreCTL build distributed with the Enterprise image is now v6.2.2 - see the AnchoreCTL v6.2.2 release notes for the full description.
Security
- Supporting libraries and operating system packages in the Enterprise image have been updated to the releases current as of v6.2.1, picking up the upstream fixes published since v6.2.0.
