  • 1.  8.6.0.5: Ready for prime time?

    Posted 10/08/24 03:20 PM

    Due to CVE mentioned at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7166856 we're thinking of going to 8.6.0.5.  However it doesn't appear to yet be a "recommended" update as per https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/690527

    What's the communities experience with 8.6.0.5?

    Or does one go to 8.7.0.1?

    Then again, the CVE mentions that 8.7.0.0 is vulnerable but doesn't say whether or not 8.7.0.1 addresses this.

    Hello Robert,

    the way I read the support page, it actually says "IBM recommends that you fix this vulnerability by upgrading affected versions of ... to the following code levels or higher:

    8.4.0.15

    8.5.0.13

    8.6.0.5

    8.7.0.0"

    So 8.7.0.0 is mot listed as impacted.

    Hello,

    I have one FS9200 and another FS9500 with version 8.6.0.5 without any problems already with two weeked in production. 

    I will update to 8.7.0.1 in December to give more  time to maturity.

    Best Regards,
