Issue Type Ticket Summary

Bug

NS-666

BGP templates with only '$URLS' would not work in any release.

Improvement

NS-669

Added the ability to have NSProxy send RST packets for 'non-decrypted' deny decisions, so the browser does not retry the HTTPS request.

Bug

NS-705

Bug

NS-715

Customers transmitting old log files from "months" or "weeks" in the past could rotate out current logs depending on log file transmit ordering.

Bug

Client key in ClientHello can cause a fragmented ClientHello, which can cause the SNI name parsing to fail. Which can lead to the Policy Service to failing open, resulting in unfiltered requests.

Bug

The RAS service did not properly clean up IP Address entries from deployments with multiple DNS servers.

Bug

NS-794

RAS Service could create false 'address change' events for hosts that have both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses.

Bug

NS-796

The RAS Service uses the fixed size array when merges old and new IP addresses that can be insufficient for multiple DNS servers polling.

Improvement

NS-797

We now trigger a log-only event when we detect 'decrypt://denied' but we do not get a corresponding HTTP request and the client connection is closed, (which indicates our CA certificate is not installed).

Bug

NS-801

Fixed Polaris Report issues for the RAS service.

Bug

NS-804

Exporting the Translation Catalog would include the WebAdmin HTML at the end of the file.

Bug

NS-805

Bug

NS-827

Sysops without List Permissions are able to modify the list settings because of the changes to assume identity which include loading their last page and breadcrumbs.

Bug

NS-829

If you had the Category view set to both 'WebAdmin' and 'Reporter,' and you attempted to deselect one, your changes would not save.

Bug

NS-838

If you disable the Protocol Detection Engine some traffic will not go into passthru mode properly and no Unknown Event will be triggered.

Bug

NS-842

NSUP2Date did not set the hostname for the service to send to the WebAdmin for improved validation.

New Feature

NS-845

Directory Sync will now only add the missing Accounts to the Groups and not replace all Accounts in the Groups during the Sync process.

Bug

NS-847

libwebdb was not validating Account type correctly, potentially allowing Accounts to download information it did not have permission to access.

Bug

NS-849

Report templates with custom Category filters added category numbers to the Report name errantly.

Bug

NS-850

Parsing the X-Forwarded-For header for Client Filter processing could cause the Policy Service to restart.

Improvement

NS-854

Improved the ability to process CNS requests without adding any latency.

Bug

NS-862

Profile Manager: When the user changes the categories for a profile, it won't set the category template, just changes the categories.

Bug

NS-872

The Client Filter Exceptions List now encodes spaces to %20 in the entry, as the file we export to is space encoded.

Bug

NS-873

Function iplist_ipv6_iprange_to_subnets could cause stack underflow when adding q.

Bug

NS-876

The weekly Report date-dropdown list was inconsistent between the Report dropdown and the Report instance views.

Bug

NS-879

Running the nsdctl chown nsd_* command could take a very long time to complete if the file sizes at the /usr/local/netsweeper/logs directory grew too large.

Bug

NS-884

CNS servers resolving to IPv6 addresses can cause 7.2, 8.1 and 8.2 releases to abort. Customers should upgrade to 7.2.15, 8.1.10, and 8.2.3 to avoid future stability issues.
