 Tom here for more systems and true NAS released version 12.0 u8 on February 2nd 2022 and according to IX systems This is recommended for even the most conservative of the users So for all the use that we've been holding out, you know on your old 11 series It's probably time that you update and especially because of the security fixes that are available in this 12.0 u8 release Now today is February 5th 2022 so far all the system of updated had no issues at all This update does not bring any major changes to true NAS core But does have lots of bug fixes security fixes especially and a few driver updates one major security fix is going to be the Samba Update to address CVE 2021 4 4 1 4 2 that is a really big problem that needs to be fixed in Samba And I really recommend because this affects all the versions prior to 12.0 u8. I really recommend you load this and get this fixed This is a pretty bad bug. I will admit though. It is not a default configuration So this bug won't necessarily be trivial trivial to exploit by just anyone It's going to be certain configurations that will go over that Kind of create a convergence of problems to allow this bug to happen But it's definitely a really bad bug before we dive into these details If you'd like to learn more about me my company have a Lawrence systems calm if you'd like to hire short projects That's just orage consulting. There's a hires button right at the top If you want to support this channel other ways there's affiliate links down below to get you deals and discounts on products and services We talk about on this channel Now here's the update release right from true NAS their blog post about it We'll get into the update details in a moment, but this does coincide with probably being the last release of True NAS core and also the announcement is in here for those you asking. What about true NAS scale? Yes true NAS scale is on its way It has a release date that was announced in here as well now They cover just kind of a history some of those updates and yes There's always bugs when it came into the first release and it's hard to believe true NAS core came out to 12 version on October of 2020 and its final version of 12 is gonna be 12.0 u8 not a discontinuity So true NAS core is just going to version 13 after this and coinciding there's going to be the true NAS scale releases Which I'll be talking about soon because well, it's coming to full release and that's gonna be right here on 222-22 But if you are using Samba at all I do recommend the update because let's talk about the Samba bug before we get to the other details And right here's a security announcement and everything we link down below so you can do further reading on these But right here is all versions prior to true NAS core 12.0 u8 and scale 22.0 2 where core and this is the Non-default conditions, but this is the conditions that are required in order to have this exploit be viable systems that are sharing the same path via SMB and AFP systems that have selected multi protocol AFP SMB Precept for a share and systems that have populated auxiliary parameters for SMB shares set to Fruit colon metadata equals net atok or fruit equal colon resource equals file So if these are conditions you have met on your core system, you have to update Immediately or you could face a real problem with someone was inside your network and had access to Samba now normally And I see normally because I'm sure somebody's doing it unfortunately Samba should never be exposed to the internet So this is not like a remote type of thing It's local to the your network the threat actor who's trying to perform this particular Exploits gonna have to be local to your network in order to do this now it affects scale systems And these are the conditions for the system at scale and I'm not gonna cover every little detail in it scale still in beta But if you're using it update that as well, there's fixes for both platforms here now on to the full release notes I'm not gonna read through all of these here There's a Samba CVE notice we covered a few free BSD security patches a few improvements open ZFS is now at 2.07 This one I haven't really played with much But it's the TLS server you or I into S3 configuration Form they're adding a couple more features with the way S3 works on here, and it's min IO in the background I'm probably gonna do an updated video because a lot has changed since the last time I did TrueNAS and S3 video And I like they've been keeping up with the updates for that So that'll come out as a separate tutorial Coming in the near future for the way they've re-implemented min IO by the way for those you have asked before Yes, min IO is going to be a slightly older version inside of TrueNAS versus if you load it within a jail And this is one of the reasons it's available as a jail on here for the extended features You may want for a min IO now They did include the new Intel drivers for the i225 Intel Nix and then just a long list of lots of little bug fixes here and there and Maybe you were affected by these so go ahead and read through this and see if there's something that's really was holding You back, but honestly, I think you really have to update to this because of these Samba issue You really need to get that loaded and get your system patch So you're not vulnerable to that issue especially if you're using one of those Conditions met that would allow that to be exploited. So my final thoughts with this release are it's time to get off the old unsupported versions of FreeNAS It is time to move on to version 12.08 and then you can sit on that for a while before you start testing with 13 when that comes out And yes, there'll be more videos on TrueNAS scale, especially with it coming out so soon here on 2222 you know great timing that they picked that as a release date So there will be some more videos coming on a channel for that in the meantime Head over to the forums where you can find me or say hi to me on Twitter and wherever social platform I'm on when you're watching this sometime in the future.
