Jenkins security advisory pre-announcement

There will be an update made to our Jenkins instance today at short
notice, so tests will probably stop running for ~30 minutes and a quick
restart will follow.

I'll mention on #theforeman-dev when this begins and Jenkins will show a
red banner when the queue is paused.

Cheers,

Based on feedback from users, I’m trying out a change in the security
advisory process. Specifically, this is a pre-announcement of an
upcoming security advisory.

We are planning to push out new releases Monday March 23rd 2015. These
releases (1.606 and 1.596.2) will contain a fix to a critical security
issue found in current versions of Jenkins. All the versions known to
date (<=1.605 and <=1.596.1) are affected by this vulnerability.

This is a very important security fix, so please be prepared to update
your Jenkins installation Monday. The security advisory will be issued
Monday to provide further information about the problem.
