I have try to upgrade one of the cluster to 8.5.2 and it won't start  
I found this which is exact error I am getting. this is not on docker though. running on centos8.x

[https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/91704](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/pull/91704)

is this means I am stuck until I Elastic release 8.5.4 ?

is there any workaround to bring this cluster backup.

```

security part is same as it was working in 7.17.1

```auto
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification_mode: certificate
xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: /etc/elasticsearch/config/elastic-certificates.p12
xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: /etc/elasticsearch/config/elastic-certificates.p12

```
