v24.2.11

Bug Fixes

• Construct audit metrics probe during service initialization to prevent null pointer access. by @michael-redpanda in #24127
• Fixed an issue where creating a topic with a huge number of partitions could lead to a crash. by @IoannisRP in #24232
• Fixes a bug in which upload candidates made from segments with missing batches would trigger metadata related errors in the ntp_archiver_service, due to assigned start offsets being lower than they should be. by @WillemKauf in #24106
• #24076 Fixes a rare bug during remote partition manifest downloads where broken pipe exceptions weren't retried in an edge case. by @pgellert in #24080
• #24144 This fixes a bug in the audit client where if the cluster config value kafka_batch_max_bytes was greater than audit_client_max_buffer_size, the audit client ends up not producing any messages and becomes stuck filling up the audit log buffers. by @pgellert in #24148
• #24207 Redpanda neglected to include ECDSA based ciphers in the cipher strings used for TLSv1.2 and below. This caused TLS connections that used ECDSA based certificates to fail cipher negotiation when using TLSv1.2 and below. ECDSA ciphers are now in the list of supported ciphers. by @michael-redpanda in #24209
