Lately I have more and more customers who have an update problem to version 9.712-13. This only affects customers who operate a HA.
The update stops at version 9.712-12 for the master and the slave does not want to update any further.

how do I recognise the error

The dashboard reports a pending update

The master hangs during the update 9.712-12 and the slave has the status UP2DATE all the time.

And the HA log says that the slave cannot download the update 9.712-12.

How does the error occur?

Sophos had released the 9.712-13 update a few weeks ago and had withdrawn the 9.712-12 update. Now we have the problem with the master that it had already downloaded the 9.712-12 update. And 9.712-12 was then also installed during the update process to 9.712-13. For the Slave, however, the updates are not downloaded in advance. And because the 9.712-12 update was withdrawn, the slave can no longer install the update.

How to fix it?

You have 2 options.

You have to shut down the slave node and update the master to version 9.712-13. The slave is then booted up again and can then download the appropriate update from the Sophos file server. The problem here is that someone has to be present to start up the slave node again.

Or you can install the Udpate 9.712-13 on the master via CLI. During the update there is a downtime of about 5 minutes because the slave node does not take over the services from the master due to the UPDATE status.

This command installs any updates that Sophos has already downloaded. The HA status is ignored.

auisys.plx --verbose --level d

The result

After the reboot, the master installed the update 9.712-13. The slave is still set to UP2DATE. To speed up the update of the slave, it can be restarted. Otherwise it may take a few hours until the slave installs the update by itself. If the slave is rebooted manually, however, the database may be damaged. In this case, you simply have to restore it via CLI.

After rebooting the slave

Have a nice day!

As usual, the release will be rolled out in phases:

• In phase 1 you can download the update package from our download server. Click the link and navigate to the folder UTM / v9 / up2date.
  • Up2date package – 9.710 to 9.711 : https://download.astaro.com/UTM/v9/up2date/u2d-sys-9.710001-711005.tgz.gpg
  • md5sum is 8eede813596e78a58a52f492adcd52c4 : https://download.astaro.com/UTM/v9/up2date/ u2d-sys-9.710001-711005.tgz.gpg.md5
• During phase 2 we will make it available via our Up2Date servers in several stages.
• In phase 3 we will make it available via our Up2Date servers to all remaining installations.

This version addresses the recent highly-publicised vulnerability in OpenSSL, CVE-2022-0778. It also addresses a vulnerability recently discovered in Apache, CVE-2022-22720. Apache is used in WAF and for the WebAdmin and user interfaces.

The new Wireless Access Point firmware included with this release is essential for anyone adding new APX access points. Due to supply chain issues we have made some hardware changes in the most recent revisions of our APX models that require this latest firmware version 11.0.109. This version also addresses the recent certificate-parsing vulnerability discovered in OpenSSL so it is worth applying even if you don’t have any new access points.

Finally, you may notice a small change in the format of the firmware version when you’re using WebAdmin – we’ve added an identifier to make it clear whether you’re using the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the UTM operating system.

This update removes the end-of-life SSLVPN client. It is no longer available to download from the User Portal. For more information see this end-of-life notice and this vulnerability disclosure.

With the standalone IPSec client also reaching end-of-sale on 30 March 2022, we have refreshed the remote access page of the User Portal to better support Sophos Connect. Sophos Connect is the recommended alternative to the old SSLVPN and IPSec clients. Download links on the User Portal now direct users to the Sophos Connect section on our downloads page. Configuration links have been updated to provide certificate packages and settings that can be imported by Sophos Connect to get users up and running quickly.

Sophos Connect client should be able to work with any IPSec or SSLVPN configuration you already have set up. Here are some additional links to help understand how it works.

today I want to show you how to find out the PPPoE password on a Sophos SG/XG if you don’t have it documented.

This only works if the SG/XG itself establishes the connection.

Start a TCPDump on the hardware interface via the shell. In this example eth1.

tcpdump -i eth1

Then press the reconnect button in the webgui.

Now you just have to look in the dump for the line that contains your PPPoE username. And directly behind it is the password in plain text. :D

08:49:12.384612 PPPoE [ses 0xdc82] PAP, Auth-Req (0x01), id 1, Peer networkguy0001@telekom.de, Name Password123

• Maintenance Release
• Strict TCP Session Handling enabled by defaultNew installations of UTM 9.706 have strict TCP session handling enabled by default.
  When updating to 9.706 and strict TCP session handling is not enabled, admins can enable it under Network Protection > Firewall > Advanced.
• Secure Up2DateUp2Date updates will be downloaded via HTTPS connections. In cases where UTM 9 is being used with an upstream proxy or behind a different firewall, it may be necessary to change the configuration on these devices to allow UTM 9 to retrieve Up2Date information via HTTPS.
• Email Protection anti-spam engine changed to Sophos Anti-Spam Interface (SASI)Starting with this release, E-Mail Protection will use the Sophos Anti-Spam Interface (SASI) for anti-spam scanning. SASI is already being used as part of Sophos Email and will replace the currently used anti-spam engine in UTM 9.
  In case of false positive or false negative detections, please follow the instructions in this support article on how to submit a sample.
