SMG Patch 10.7.5-292 is cumulative with SMG patch 10.7.5-291. Patch 10.7.5-292 includes all fixes in patch 291

Issues addressed with patch 10.7.5-292

  • Messages with a blank subject are not processed when the policy action "Modify clickable URLs in message" is enabled. Such messages fail to send, and are diverted.
  • Your configured Threat Isolation Server will report an error when it tests a URL present at the end of an email subject if the action "Modify clickable URLs in message - Threat Isolation" is enabled. Additionally, if the message is outbound and the option "Undo a modification for outbound messages" is enabled, the message fails to send and is diverted to the bad message queue.
  • Policies where the "Modify Clickable URLs" action is applied to Custom URLs will not reflect changes to the Customer-specific URL Category settings until the policy itself is updated or saved.
  • If a policy is created with the condition "If a message contains Customer-specific URL content", and the Customer-specific URL Category Settings list is empty, there is no warning to indicate that the policy will have no effect. The system now displays a warning under these circumstances.
  • If a policy is created with the condition "If a message contains Customer-specific URL content", or with the action "Modify Clickable URLs" where the action is being applied to Custom URLs, there is no warning displayed to  the user if all of the categories in thee Customer-specific URL Category Settings are deleted.  There will now be a warning displayed under these circumstances.
  • It may not be possible to download a new version before attempting to upgrade if the underlying platform is Hyper-V.
  • Any attempt to edit the Customer-specific URL Category Settings will result in the error "The file webpulse_categories.xml does not exist" when the SMG system is configured as a Control Center Only.
  • Messages with body content encoded as BINARY or a custom or non-standard type fail URL modification.
  • Messages with attachments fail URL modification when they have no body text.
  • Message delivery may fail in cases where the MX record of an email's destination domain contains upper case characters.
  • Administrators cannot change the Control Center's minimum TLS level using the cc-config command.
  • Configuration backups using SCPRSA fail cannot be scheduled or processed.
  • This patch provides mitigation for CVE-2021-4034.
  • This patch provides mitigation for CVE-2012-6708.
  • The Control Center's minimum TLS level is always displayed as TLS 1.2, regardless of its actual value.
  • The MTA will occasionally fail to deliver a message which requires TLS delivery with the error "503 5.5.1 MAIL first."
  • There is a Cross-Site scripting vulnerability on the Edit Annotations page of the Control Center.\
  • Administrators cannot create a valid Certificate Signing Request since the Add Certificate page requires that an OU be entered.
  • This patch provides mitigation for CVE-2022-0778.
