Secure Email Gateway

Version 6.0.0

November 29, 2024

IMPORTANT:
  • 6.0.0 is a major version and there are functionalities and procedures which are different from version 5.x. We strongly recommend that you visit the Installation Guides first to familiarize yourself with these changes.

  • In Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 9, as per Red Hat Documentation, the default system-wide cryptographic policy level offers secure settings for current threat models. It allows the TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 protocols, as well as the IKEv2 and SSH2 protocols. The RSA keys and Diffie-Hellman parameters are accepted if they are at least 2048 bits long. This also means that certificates which use the SHA1 as TLS hash, signature, and algorithm are not accepted. Note that this is the "default" policy, and it is possible to change the system to the "legacy" policy.

  • TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 encryption protocols are deprecated and disabled by default. These protocols can be enabled by changing the system-wide crypto policy to “legacy” mode. However, this needs to be handled with great caution as it can lower the security level of the product.

Enhancements
  • Product’s platform, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL), has been updated from version 7.9 to version 9.4.

  • The RHEL 9 administrative interface, Cockpit, has been updated, including improved SELinux support and various user interface fixes.

  • Support for FIPS-mode compliance has been enhanced in RHEL 9.4, providing more secure cryptographic standards. (The entire system must be enabled for FIPS mode before FIPS can be enabled within the Gateway.)

  • STIG compliance has been enhanced, using the latest RHEL 9 DISA profiles.

  • Enhancements have been made to improve encryption, certificate management and TLS compatibility for secure connections.

  • Support has been added to reduce false positives when detecting Canadian Social Insurance Numbers (SIN), by adopting a validation using the Luhn algorithm.

  • The dependency on the %EMAIL% token for key server queries for S/MIME certificates has been removed. This enables some additional key server providers to be used, by adding support for the %LOCAL% and %DOMAIN% tokens.

  • Postfix has been updated from version 3.8 to version 3.9. Amongst other improvements, this also provides a long-term fix to mitigate an SMTP smuggling vulnerability in Postfix that could allow malicious messages to bypass DMARC and other spam checks.

  • The encryption engine has been updated for RHEL 9, including multiple fixes and enhancements.

  • Mailshell SDK has been updated from version 8.2.4 to version 9.3.0, including multiple enhancements for the anti-spam engine.

  • Java has been upgraded to version 21, for improved compatibility and performance.

Fixes
  • A critical vulnerability found in the previous release (CVE-2023-26136) has been fixed through the upgrade of Cockpit to a later version, including its dependent libraries.

  • Resolved a long-standing issue, requiring a restart of NetworkManager after configuring an SNMP server in Cockpit.

  • Resolved an issue where updates to FileZilla version 1.8.2 disrupted the FTP backup process for the product.

  • Resolved a license validation issue on the Japanese systems.

  • Resolved a crash in the DCI (Deep Content Inspection) Engine caused by processing PDF files that contain circular references in their outline.

  • Corrected the DCI Engine's handling of Text Views in XML DFC, which caused the failure in detecting the "Social Security number" text entities in XML document search.

  • Addressed failures in message processing through Sophos Sandbox caused by changes in the HTML report format.

  • The configuration of Trust Center has been enhanced to allow special characters in Trust Center account names.

  • Resolved an issue where the download manager failed to close files when retrieving download update times.

  • Resolved an intermittent synchronization issue with LDAPS that prevented regular updates of address lists.

  • S/MIME key server queries are now supported over LDAPS connections.

Digital Guardian

Agent for Windows

Version: 8.2.0

November, 2024

New Features and Enhancements
  • Certified the Agent to run on Microsoft Windows 11 24H2 OS.

  • To better support email DG X-Headers, DG changed the default for Agent configuration setting sendMailDGxheaderControl from 1 to 2. This changes the behavior so that the Agent sends classification data in multiple X-Headers. Refer to Management Console Users Guide for details.

    Added a new agent configuration setting, `<dgxheaderOn>`, which allows enabling or disabling the use of DG X-Header email properties. When enabled, a maximum of 50 DG X-Header email properties can be used.

    Values for `<dgxheaderOn>`:

    • l `0` – Disables the use of DG X-Header email properties.

    • l `1` – Enables the use of DG X-Header email properties.

    For more information, please refer to "Configuring DG X-Header Email Properties" under Critical Notices section in DigitalGuardian_Agent_for_Windows_8.2.0_Release_Notes.

  • Starting with this release, the default setting for dgxheaderOn is changed to 0 from 1. The result is the Agent does not process x-headers. It does not add x-headers to emails and it does not read x-headers in email. Classification data is not sent or received.

  • In this release, the Windows Agent installer has been enhanced to prevent the installation or upgrade if an existing agent is in a pending reboot state. The Agent installer will check the status of the DGUpdate service to see if an agent is waiting for a reboot indicating an install/upgrade already in progress before allowing another installation or upgrade to continue. This approach reduces the risk of incomplete installations ensuring a smoother upgrade process.

Fixes
  • Resolved a problem where the Agent was not uploading Digital Guardian Agent Diagnostic (DG Diag) artifacts to the Server when requested.

  • Resolved an egress vulnerability to devices protected by RME. Refer to CVE-2024-3334 and consult this knowledge base article. Contact Fortra support for more details.

  • Resolved a problem where memory management by the Agent caused random application crashes on Microsoft Windows 10 when the Agent and Check Point Software Checkpoint are running.

  • Resolved a problem at a customer site in which SQL queries performed on behalf of local users with usernames that had $ appended caused the nightly SQL jobs to run excessively long.

Analytics & Reporting Cloud

Version: 5.0.0

November, 2024

New Features
  • This release introduces UI theme customization, allowing users to switch between light and dark modes in their preferences. With dark mode becoming increasingly popular for its benefits like reduced eye strain, improved readability, and enhanced accessibility, this feature enhances usability and caters to individual preferences, providing a more personalized user experience.

  • In this release, updates have been made to enhance user experience and streamline workspace management for customers.

    • "Workspace Manager" renamed to "All Workspaces," displaying workspace tabs on the dock for a more organized view.

    • Home sign removed from the workspace tile; the first tab is now set as the Home tab by default.

    • Pin/unpin icon removed; users can now pin or unpin workspaces by right-clicking on the workspace tab.

    • Workspace time fields UI updated.

    • Enhancements to the application toolbar, streamlining navigation and workspace management.

Fixes
  • Resolved an issue where the federated users were unable to download CSV files from ARC workspaces. Adjustments were made to the permissions for these users, allowing successful downloads.

  • Resolved an issue where Mac users with usernames starting with an underscore (_) were being added to the ARC computer inventory, similar to a previous issue with Windows users. A filter has been added to prevent this.

  • Resolved an issue where the event details section under incident details was inaccessible for customers, with the fields appearing greyed-out.

  • When attempting to set up an SMTP email connection, additional logging is enabled when the “Validate Email Connection” button is pressed. This will assist in diagnosing connection problems. The logging is directed into the file ptavws.log.
