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

Operand CVE fixes are delivered via openshift/jetstack-cert-manager:

• #45 (merged a953710…) — initial sustaining backports
• #51 (merged 70e2228…) — bump to latest Go 1.24 sustaining tags

Operator go.mod jetstack replace points at #51 merge commit:
v1.17.5-0.20260924124801-70e2228def37

operand.Dockerfile clones release-1.17 so operand image builds include both #45 and #51 fixes.

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-2026-39829	golang.org/x/crypto	same crypto replace (sec.3)
CVE-2026-39832	golang.org/x/crypto	same crypto replace (sec.3)
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 70e2228… (post–CM-13 Added CR examples #51)

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

Could you please update to the latest versions. Those have some more CVE fixes....even if we aren't impacted with those.

Updated jetstack replace to merged jetstack-cert-manager#51 (70e2228). Operator and operand are now aligned on x/net@sec.4 / x/crypto@sec.3. Ready for review.
