Syncplify Server! v6.2.12 released

Importance of this update: SECURITY HOT-FIX
What’s changed?
  • Fixed a vulnerability in one of the libraries used by the web UIs (SuperAdmin, Admin, and WebClient); for the record, this vulnerability was only exploitable in npm (node.js) so within the context of our software was non-exploitable, but we figured it would be better to update that 3rd-party library to its newer and bug-free version anyway.
  • Upgraded Go compiler, standard library and toolchain to the latest 1.21.2

IMPORTANT NOTE: those who are running the “worker” system service under a different account (not System or LocalSystem) will need to re-configure the service to run under such account after upgrading from any version number <= 6.1.12)

Upgrading from v6.x.y is a simple and fairly automatic process: simply download the latest version from the official download page, and install it over the existing version, all of your settings and license will be kept.

If, instead, you’re upgrading from an older (v4/v5) version, you find the upgrade instructions in our knowledge base.

Syncplify Server! v6.2.11 released

Importance of this update: HOT-FIX (for HA)
What’s changed?
  • Fixed a problem that prevented logging into the SuperAdmin UI of a newly added node to an HA (high-availability) deployment – this bug only and exclusively affected secondary HA nodes, those running Syncplify Server! v6 as a standalone single-node server were never affected by it

Syncplify Server! v6.2.5 released

Importance of this update: MEDIUM
Fixed
  • A glitch in the Admin UI could occasionally give the impression that updates to the HTTPS/WebClient! weren’t persisted in the database (they were but without visual feedback)
  • Counter of cleaned up items in the block-list (only in log files) was wrong
Added
  • System-wide used RAM (memory) percentage indicator, per node, has been added to the dashboard
  • A few additional variables have been added to those you can use to customize the various protocol handler banners

Syncplify Server! v6.2.4 released 🚨

Importance of this update: HIGHEST
Fixed
  • A deeply nested bug in the FTP(E/S) protocol handler could have allowed a cleverly crafted attack to cause a DoS in this particular protocol subsystem; all other protocol handlers (Shell, SCP, SFTP, HTTPS, …) would still be functioning just fine – now this risk has been averted
