Hi Folks,

In response to news of directed attacks against public Jenkins
instances[0], we are enabling some of the CSRF protections in ci.centos.org

To do this we will issue a SafeRestart at 14:30 UTC Today! Running jobs
will be given a chance to clear and new jobs should be queued up and
will execute as soon as the restart finishes. 

Potential Impact:
- If you are using the Jenkins REST interface you may need to modify
  your scripts to send the appropriate headers[1]

- Jenkins Job Builder is tracking an issue to enable CSRF support[2].
  Some basic tests were performed on our side, and simple jobs were
  configured correctly, but you may notice strange behavior if you are
  using JJB.

If you have any questions or comments, let us know here or find one of
us in #centos-devel on Freenode.

Cheers!
