  • 1.  8.6.0.5: Ready for prime time?

    Posted Tue October 08, 2024 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?

    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.
