KB27244 Security Update

Hello,

 

I'm running a couple of 4.1.6.28 BES for GroupWise. Is this version of BES affected by this vulnerability?

 

Thanks!

Re: KB27244 Security Update

Thanks, but I'm at 4.1.6. Can I legally upgrade to 4.1.7 without a support contract?

Re: KB27244 Security Update

Thanks! I was under the impression I couldn't. Guess it's just major versions - like from 4 to 5.

Re: KB27244 Security Update

correct 5 is a paid upgrade or if you get enough phones from your carrier they might give you the upgrade for free.

Re: KB27244 Security Update

Hi, we're using BES for Exchange 4.1.7 which also isn't listed in the affected software list. I know the KB says "If you are using a software version that is not listed above, update to one of the listed versions before applying the interim security software update." when it comes to the list of patches however this is quite diffferent from saying that previous versions are vunerable. We will be upgrading to version 5 this year but until we do so do we need to implement the workarounds or are we safe?

Re: KB27244 Security Update

apply the latest Service Pack, Maintenance Release, and the interim security software update for your version if not listed in the KB.
