CRE-2025-0080View on GitHub

Description

Detects when Redpanda hits any of these on startup or early runtime: 1. Fails to create its crash_reports directory (POSIX error 13). 2. Heartbeat or node-status RPC failures indicating a broker is down. 3. Raft group failure. 4. Data center failure

Mitigation

**Immediate Actions:** ```bash chown -R redpanda:redpanda /var/lib/redpanda/data chmod -R 750 /var/lib/redpanda/data # Free up disk or expand the data volume systemctl restart redpanda ``` **Long-term Fixes:** - InitContainer or boot-script to validate permissions before start. - Multi-broker deployment - Monitor cluster health and broker reachability. - Multi-broker deployment spread across multiple racks or network failure domains - Multi-AZ or replicated deployment - Offline backups
