Network Appliance sent out Field Alert Notice #260 to customers today
about this upgrade. From their email:
Important Fixes
---------------
175888 - Filer stops serving NFS after a bad thread synchronization
event
176788 - FAS3020/FAS3050 may respond slowly to requests, exhibit poor
performance
That's it. NOT ONE WORD ABOUT A VULNERABILITY OR A FIX. From reading
that synopsis, if I weren't using NFS or a FAS3020/FAS3050, I probably
wouldn't be very interested in applying the update, and my systems would
remain vulnerable.
You're releasing security fixes for an infrastructure product without
telling your customers! Who do you think you are, Cisco?
Almost as annoying: I went to view the NetApp pages linked above, and
the site made me register. After registration, I'm told I'm not
authorized to view the pages. (So why'd you want me to register?)
