  • Applies to: v15.16.0

  • Internal reference: RNDSUPPORT-3131, RNDSUPPORT-3139, RNDSUPPORT-3145, RNDSUPPORT-3140, RNDSUPPORT-3141

Description

  • RNDSUPPORT-3131 - Removes the screens for file-manager rule editing which could create security issues

  • RNDSUPPORT-3139 - Fixes an issue where support packages could contain unintended files

  • RNDSUPPORT-3145 - Fixes an issue where the running Funnelback jetty web server could retain permissions via supplemental groups after startup

  • RNDSUPPORT-3140 - Limits an administration CGI script to redirect only within the Funnelback administration interface as intended

  • RNDSUPPORT-3141 - Removes the unused administration debug.cgi script which reflected input parameters without proper escaping

Funnelback thanks Ron Schwarzmann and Dugald Shaw for discovering and reporting these issues.
