CM-1222: z-stream 1.17.2 operator release with sustaining CVE backports

[sakshiep1]

Summary

Operator z-stream release 1.17.2 for CM-1222, with downstream openshift-sustaining CVE backports in operator go.mod and patched operand sources from jetstack.

Component	Version
Operator (OLM bundle)	1.17.2
Operand (cert-manager)	v1.17.4 (label unchanged; rebuilt with CVE fixes)

Jetstack dependency

openshift/jetstack-cert-manager#45 is merged.

• Merge commit: a9537101948b58e4c5e644916f65ffcbd9d86e49
• Operator go.mod replace updated to that commit (v1.17.5-0.20260824055811-a9537101948b)
• operand.Dockerfile updated to clone release-1.17 so CI operand image builds include the CVE fixes

Note: No v1.17.5 tag exists yet on jetstack. Using release-1.17 for operand builds until a tag is cut (same pattern as pinning v1.18.6 on the 1.18 line). Can switch to v1.17.5 once tagged.

Changes

Operator version bump (1.17.1 → 1.17.2)

• BUNDLE_VERSION → 1.17.2 in Makefile
• CSV: OLM bundle name, version, replaces, skipRange
• OPERATOR_IMAGE_VERSION in config/manager/manager.yaml

CVE fixes (operator go.mod)

CVE	Package	Fix
CVE-2026-33186	google.golang.org/grpc	replace → openshift-sustaining/grpc-go@v1.75.1-sec.1
CVE-2026-39821	golang.org/x/net/idna	replace → openshift-sustaining/net@v0.50.0-sec.2
CVE-2026-25681	golang.org/x/net/html	same net replace (cumulative)
CVE-2026-46597	golang.org/x/crypto/ssh	replace → openshift-sustaining/crypto@v0.48.0-sec.1
CVE-2026-34986	go-jose/v4	N/A on operator (fixed in jetstack #45 only)

Sustaining backports used instead of upstream minor bumps to remain compatible with Go 1.24 builder (rhel-9-golang-1.24-openshift-4.20).

Jetstack / operand build

• go.mod: jetstack replace → merge commit a953710… (post–Initial e2e tests #45)
• images/ci/operand.Dockerfile: RELEASE_BRANCH v1.17.4 → release-1.17

Commits

• CM-1222: bump BUNDLE_VERSION to 1.17.2
• CM-1222: update CSV OLM bundle name, version, replaces, skipRange
• CM-1222: update OPERATOR_IMAGE_VERSION references
• CM-1222: Apply openshift-sustaining CVE backports in operator go.mod
• CM-1222: Point jetstack replace to post-CVE merge commit

There is a newer(1.17.4) z-stream of cert-manager 1.17 available, we should be updating to that.
The same isn't required for istio-csr, since it's TP in 1.17

[bharath-b-rh]

Also is the downstream fork release branch release-1.17 synched with v1.17.4 of upstream?

[sakshiep1]

1. The CERT_MANAGER_VERSION is already at v1.17.4 (unchanged from the base branch). Are you asking us to bump BUNDLE_VERSION from 1.17.2 to 1.17.4 to match the cert-manager operand version?
2. Yes, release-1.17 is synced with v1.17.4 and includes the additional CVE backports from [https://github.com/CM-1222: UPSTREAM: <carry>: Apply openshift-sustaining CVE backports for go 1.24 jetstack-cert-manager#45] (merge commit a9537101948b).

[bharath-b-rh]

Sorry for the confusion. I think got confused with the changes in Makefile and assumed operand was still at 1.17.2
