8.2.8 GA Release and Downloads (March 10, 2025)

The old nsef-linux/lib SNI parsing would only look at the first data packet in a stream.

SOAP API for dirsync_query was missing a parameter which would cause a PHP error.

We now package the 'nseftest' tool for testing Packet Capturess through the Enterprise Filter in the given release part of the Policy Service package, and we have added Linux Cooked pcap file support to Capture Modules and nseftest.

Added the ability for the NSEF Engine to handle 'out of order' TCP Packets.

New Advanced Filters could not be saved in versions 8.2.1 to 8.2.7.

NSUp2D will now write the exact value for timespan settings from the WebAdmin config table.

The installer volume names for the '/home' directory and the '/usr/local' directory were both 'home'. This caused the home partition to resize and fill the disk, instead of the expected '/usr/local'.

Resolved an issue where users could assign a List as a Client Filter Exception List without having permission to the specific List, as long as they had permission to manage the Brand.

A Report's 'Start Date' no longer depends on the selected 'Week Start' day for weekly Scheduled Reports.

URL List loading from 6.3.1 to 8.2.7 would treat a URL with no segments as a memory error, causing the Policy Service to abort List loading.

Resolved an issue where the Quick Search was not functioning in the Accounts > Client Filter window.

The nsreporter did not adjust the 'Week Start' parameter correctly for weeks that did not start on Sunday.

In the absence of an HTTP Path or Host, we will now log the extracted request as http://destip:destport.

The instances table for Weekly Scheduled Reports would shift the Report Date to the next week, for weeks that did not start later than Wednesday.

The 'list_entry_list_count' API did not return a count, instead returning the first element name in the array.

The NSEF Library did not properly reset flows when SYN and RST packets were transmitted, and 'inprogress' marking and Denied Events were enabled.

The nseftest tool could not enable all the tracker features like INPROGRESS Marking, INPROGRESS Events or DENIED Events.

Setting the Client Expire Date through icc/thinclient did not effectively update the Expiry Date.

A 'Suspended' WebAdmin Account would inadvertently reactivate if you use the Assume identify tool and then Logout manually.

Attempting to export Groups in the 8.2.7 and 9.1.1 releases in JSON format would result in an 'ERROR: You do not have permission to export Accounts' error.

Exporting groups in 8.2.7 as a SysOp user in CSV format would fail with a database error.

The Netsweeper library string escape could overwrite memory by 1 byte, causing errors.
