+Known Vulnerabilities
+---------------------
+
+
+Workarounds
+-----------
+
+- `OOM-2754 <https://jira.onap.org/browse/OOM-2754>`_
+  Because of *updateEndpoint* property added to *cmpv2issuer* CRD
+  it is impossible to upgrade platform component from Honolulu to Istanbul
+  release without manual steps. Actions that should be performed:
+
+  #. Update the CRD definition::
+
+     > kubectl -n onap apply -f oom/kubernetes/platform/components/cmpv2-cert-provider/crds/cmpv2issuer.yaml
+  #. Upgrade the component::
+
+     > helm -n onap upgrade dev-platform oom/kubernetes/platform
+  #. Make sure that *cmpv2issuer* contains correct value for
+     *spec.updateEndpoint*. The value should be: *v1/certificate-update*.
+     If it's not, edit the resource::
+
+     > kubectl -n onap edit cmpv2issuer cmpv2-issuer-onap
