Hello Reshmar,
I just saw your post to release 3006.16 and checked what is actual on the saltproject side and found this:
'The Salt Project is announcing the Salt 3006.17 LTS and 3007.9 STS CVE releases. This release addresses 2 CVEs, ranging from low to medium in severity.'
https://saltproject.io/security-announcements/2025-11-20-advisory-3006-17-3007-9/
In the release notes the following two CVE's are mentioned:
Fixed unsafe YAML loader usage in junos execution module (CVE-2025-62348)
Fixed authentication protocol version downgrade vulnerability (CVE-2025-62349)
Kind regards,
Joerg

Hi Zbigniew Branny,
We moved our Toolbox python ecosystem to python 3.12. Salt 3006.x version doesn't support python 3.12. That's the reason we updated it to 3007.8(STS version).
But we will keep providing updates for salt 3006. We will be updating to the latest version 3006.16 soon.

Hi,
I see that you have updated recently Salt packages in AIX Toolbox repo to version 3007 which is STS (Short Term Support) instead of keeping LTS version 3006.
According to SaltStack page (see link below) the support for 3007 STS ends in January 2026. Furthermore it breaks our automation infra as our Salt Masters run on LTS version and we are forced to downgrade Salt packages if someone happened to update them already by running dnf update.
Any particular reason to go to STS instead of the latest LTS version?
Is it possible to bring LTS version back with the latest patches?

Hello,
would it be possible to compile the latest SaltStack components, the latest LTS version 3006.10 and provide as RPM packages via AIX Toolbox service?
We're currently running Salt Minion on version 3006.2 but our Salt Masters have newer versions.

Thanks Ranjit for taking care of this,
There are some python messages in Minion log, not explaining much, at least to me :) see below.
Minion process still visible in process list but no jobs going through. And it is happening after some time, Minion restart helps.
Further investigation shows possible incompatibility between Salt Minion and Master being lower version.
Anyway, it would be great to have the latest version of 3006 LTS available in Toolbox with all the bugfixes so we can start using it and check if the problem still persists.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
We will look into it and share the time line later.
Is it possible to share the minimal program/steps to reproduce the crash ?
Thanks

Hi,
would it be possible to compile the latest SaltStack components, LTS version 3006.9 and provide as RPM packages via AIX Toolbox service?
https://repo.saltproject.io/salt/py3/src/3006.9/
There is older version 3006.2 available in AIX Toolbox.
AIX Toolbox for Open Source Software : Downloads alpha
I tried to check it by myself but the whole compilation process on AIX machine doesn't look easy...
Our company use internal SaltStack based tool as main automation service. Currently I'm dealing with as issue (crashing Salt Minion 3006.2) therefore it would be great to run the latest LTS Minion with all the fixes.
Thanks in advance.
