G_W_Albrecht — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 07:28:25 GMT

In sk165875: Check Point Response to CVE-2020-8597 (PPP buffer overflow vulnerability) we found the latest 77.20.xx firmware builds for SMB appliances - but now in response to DNSpooQ (CVE-2020-25686, CVE-2020-25684, CVE-2020-25685), CP TAC provided fixed versions also for older models (2021-02):

With sk176148: Check Point response to CVE-2021-26414 - "Windows DCOM Server Security Feature Bypass" customers using MS DC/AD received fixed firmware versions that are available from TAC only (01-Nov-2021):

R77.20.87 build 990173127 for 700/1400 appliances

R77.20.87 ist now B990173049

Re: Latest firmware builds for 77.20.xx SMB appliances

Not really:

R77.20.87 Build B990173042 for 700/900/1400 and sk153433: Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R77.20.87 say that B990173042 is the latest R77.20.87 Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator GA version that can be directly downloaded from these articles.
R77.20.87 B990173049 is a version where you need to Contact Check Point Support to get a Hotfix for this issues: sk167693: Various issues with emails and Outlook when using IMAPS or POP3S on SMB appliances and sk168797: Traffic routes out of the wrong interface after updating an SMB image with ISP redundancy configured

Yes really, 3049 is mentioned here https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk168797&partition=Advanced&product=Small

"This problem was fixed. The fix is included in:

Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator for R77.20.87 Build 990173049

If you do not wish to upgrade, please Contact Check Point Support to get a Hotfix for this issue. "

So the JHF article just lacks an upgrade as the SK clearly points to the JHF article.

BTW the OP did not mention anything about GA anyhow.

No, it certainly is GA. But the link to the wrong source is nice, i would add some feedback there 8) I assume that people writting sk168797 thought that B990173049 would be GA soon, but as we see the phrase "If you do not wish to upgrade" it rather seems that something was mistaken, as a GAiA Embedded Hotfix always is a new firmware version including it.

So you can turn it anyway you want, R77.20.87 B990173049 is private and only available thru TAC - sk168797 is wrong as the R77.20.87 B990173049 is no GA version (yet)....

Even if it is still not GA, you never mentioned GA in the OP.

It seems that now there is r77.20.87 B3055 if you ask TAC. Very confusing and determining what are some of the fixes made above B3042? Debating do I upgrade?

Re: Latest firmware builds for 77.20.xx SMB appliances

Steffen_Appel — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 06:48:39 GMT

sk167693 (from build 3044) and sk168797 (from build 3049) are two fixes included.

Re: Latest firmware builds for 77.20.xx SMB appliances

Naftali_Oziel — Thu, 03 Sep 2020 12:10:26 GMT

yet if you call into TAC to get the fix for sk167693. They seem to give a different build number each time, now it's up to B3057 which they release so am sure it contains more than just those two fixes.

HFA is updated to 3068.

Thank you - i updated my post !

Re: Latest firmware builds for 77.20.xx SMB appliances

Nik_Bloemers — Fri, 27 Nov 2020 07:35:12 GMT

I saw that too, but the resolved issues list is unchanged? Still lists B3042 as the latest (aside from the private builds).

It looks like there is an issue with the latest build. See the updated sk.
Maybe there will be a new build coming soon.

Any feedback on how's latest JHF (3072) working in production environment ?

Re: Latest firmware builds for 77.20.xx SMB appliances

G_W_Albrecht — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 08:25:39 GMT

sk153433 now contains:

R77.20.87 Jumbo Hotfix build 990173072
-	General stability improvements and fixes.

Well, not entirely. 😀 For example we have a new process now:

/pfrm2.0/bin/jitterentropy_rngd

Using the Jitter RNG core, the rngd provides an entropy source that feeds into the Linux /dev/random device if its entropy runs low. It updates the /dev/random entropy estimator such that the newly provided entropy unblocks /dev/random.

The seeding of /dev/random also ensures that /dev/urandom benefits from entropy. Especially during boot time, when the entropy of Linux is low, the Jitter RNGd provides a source of sufficient entropy.
