Secure Access 13.54$$$Important: Three Vulnerabilities Addressed in Secure Access 13.54 Server$$$$$$13.54 is a maintenance release that also addresses three security vulnerabilities that would allow attackers with administrative access to the management console to interfere with other administrators or bypass certain access controls.$$$$$$The highest CVSS 4.0 score of these vulnerabilities is 7.0 – High$$$$$$For more information on security changes see our 13.54 security advisory.$$$$$$ $$$$$$Release notes:$$$$$$Windows server updates include:$$$$$$Fixed an infrequent issue with Warehouse upgrades which would require a manual re-index of the database to resolve.$$$Added a client setting for location data which enables administrators to set accuracy tolerance (in meters). Location data outside the tolerance will be treated as inaccurate and not reported.$$$Improved error handling for rare invalid configurations (e.g. a Publisher target with blank hostname or a certificate configured in the Warehouse with an empty value.)$$$Client updates for all platforms include:$$$$$$Improved performance on high speed; high latency networks.$$$Improved performance for uploads taking place outside the tunnel on non-Windows platforms; especially iPhone and iPad devices.$$$Windows client updates include:$$$$$$Fixed a frequent issue that caused delays in renewing VIP addresses. $$$Fixed a frequent issue with NAC that caused scan results to be ignored if the NAC policy had not yet been loaded.$$$Fixed a rare issue where device authentication rejected TPM-backed certificates signed with RSA-PSS.
