Minor bugfixes and improvements

Minor bugfixes and improvements

PPP protocol

The update fixes a buffer overflow in the ppp service which is used for ADSL and L2TP connections. The vulnerability is critical as it can be exploited before authentication.

Disabling SMB1 protocol

If automatic backups and archiving of logfiles is configured to store the files on a Windows share, the insecure SMB1 protocol or older has been used. With the update at least SMB 2.1.0 is required (Windows 2008R2, Windows 7 or newer).
For NTLM authentication and network shares all current SMB versions used to be available, however SMB1 was also still allowed. An attacker could have forced a protocol downgrade to the SMB1 protocol. The minimum protocol version here is now also SMB 2.1.0.

Minor bugfixes and improvements

Avira Antivirus

Due to a misconfigured update procedure the scanner failed to connect with the servers for online queries after the signature update from 2020-01-14, about 16:00 CET.

Let's Encrypt certificates

The Let's Encrypt client now uses the ACMEv2 protocol.

Minor bugfixes and improvements

Update of the POP3/IMAP4 server

This update fixes a critical security issue. An attacker was able to read protected information or even execute their own program code without authentication.
