Topic 70190 | Release Notes | i-Series Appliance | Updated: 31-Mar-2016
Applies to:
Forcepoint i-Series appliance v1.6, 1.6.1
This section of the Release Notes describes the important updates in version 1.6.1, including:
*
New look and feel
To support the transition from Raytheon | Websense to Forcepoint LLC, the appliance manager has a new look and feel. The colors and logos throughout the manager, including the logon screen, have been updated to reflect the Forcepoint brand.
In addition, if you are using the default block and notification pages, end users will see that the Websense logo has been replaced by the Forcepoint logo. If you have previously changed the default logo or customized your notification pages, however, your changes remain in effect and end users will not see any change.
These changes do not affect product functionality.
Over time, you may notice the branding extended to other areas of the appliance, like the Help system, as well as to external content, like the Knowledge Base.
*
Vulnerability updates
This release of the Forcepoint appliance addresses the following issues:
*
glibc vulnerability (CVE-2015-7547)
*
OpenSSL vulnerability (CVE-2016-0800)
*
CA certificate upgrade
The appliance can now use CA certificates and certificate chains that are encrypted using SHA-2. This change is made in order to enhance system security.
*
The default certificates shipped with the appliance are now SHA-2 encrypted.
*
The appliance can also accept SHA-2 certificates from system components with which it communicates, like the cloud portal.
The appliance can still use signed certificates that use SHA-1. However, it is recommended that you implement SHA-2 certificates if you create and upload certificates to the cloud portal.
