Appliance update: texis-8.01.1713477544, texisScripts-27.2.0, applianceman-27.2.0

Post by Kai »

Several updates are now available for the appliance: texis-8.01.1713477544, texisScripts-27.2.0, applianceman-27.2.0.

Note that it may take two complete cycles of checking (System -> System Setup -> Update Software) and applying all offered updates in order to install all possble updates: some updates require others to be installed beforehand, and will not be offered until then.

texis-8.01.1713477544 provides the following:
  • Fixed the C# Search SOAP API Example project giving The system cannot find the path specified. when establishing a Service Reference
  • Crawling/fetches/Texis now use OpenSSL 3.2.1, which fixes CVE-2024-0727, CVE-2023-6237, CVE-2023-6129, CVE-2023-5678, CVE-2023-5363 since the last Texis product update (OpenSSL 3.1.3). None of these CVEs are thought to affect Texis nor appliances. CVE-2024-0727 (crash), CVE-2023-6237 (time), CVE-2023-5678 (time), CVE-2023-5363 (confidentiality) can cause a crash, excessive time consumption, or loss of confidentiality (as noted), but should not affect Texis as the affected APIs are not known to be used by Texis. CVE-2023-6129 does not affect Texis as there are currently no PowerPC Texis versions. Note that this update does not affect the OpenSSL version used by Appliance server processes, which is updated separately.
texisScripts-27.2.0 provides the following:
  • Added ability to choose profile based on hostname used to access the appliance, via Default Profile Sources setting
  • Fixed viewing Best Bet Clicks in Query Log sometimes giving query would require post-processing error
  • SOAP API improvements:
    • Admin SOAP API now checks all admin restrictions on initial login in addition to actual functionality
    • Functions besides login with auth failure now specify the reason for the failure
    • Responses to requests that have XML parsing errors now include details about the parsing error in the response, instead of just 'An XML parsing error was encountered'
    • Fixed admin SOAP API setSettings() function not returning a proper soap fault when given an invalid profile
    • Added about function from search SOAP service to admin and dataload SOAP services
  • Fixed Dashboard javascript errors when there's absolutely no historical dashboard information (e.g. a freshly created machine)
  • Fixed application/json MIME type with lots of highbit content not being treated as text
  • Fixed System Actions in the Upgrade Data UI not showing their help icon
  • Fixes when creating a profile as a copy of another:
    • Now copies best bets, walk schedule and query log rotation schedule
    • Parametric profile copy with "standard" Profile Type selected will now copy the source profile's parametric fields
    • Fix where the copy would show the search results of the source profile until any settings were changed or a walk performed
  • Improved search efficiency with many (>1000) Category URL Patterns and many simultaneous searches
  • Query Log improvements:
    • Viewing now uses asynchronous tabs for tables of data
    • Download Query Log link now shows the date range that would apply to that download
    • Filenames generated for querylog downloads now reflect the date of the querylog data, rather than the current date
    • Fix query log date searches at boundary conditions
  • Update Software now shows some progress messages and an info popup
  • Fixed uploaded custom favicon.ico, robots.txt, or homepages in System Wide Settings not being served properly in 4th Generation appliances
  • Setting to send security headers on search script set security headers on dowalk
  • Handle rpms signed on Rocky 9: previous scripts could not install some Rocky 9 RPMs; fixed. This only affected manually-provided updates, not those obtained via the update server (System -> System Setup -> Update Software).
applianceman-27.2.0 updates the documentation.

These updates are available via the System -> System Setup -> Update Software menu item.
