This is a functional update to ensure VPN and blade connectivity and functionality. Q: Is this a security update? Is there a vulnerability in the software?Ī: No.Q: Which versions are affected, and which are not?Ī: For the full list of affected clients, please refer to sk171213.The library fixes an issue with regards to the certificate’s expiration validation (current date and not the signing date). The fix is within the driver library: epklib. One of the certificates expires on January 1st 2021, therefore all services that use this certificate will stop working on January 1st 2021. The issue happens due to the internal certificate used by VPN/Endpoint services. So, we need to make sure they do so this week – before January 1st – to ensure a smooth and easy to facilitate transition to newer versions. We are approaching all customers as we saw that many of them haven’t updated these old versions, and their update will become more difficult to facilitate after January 1st.
These older, out of support versions will cease to operate on January 1st 2021. On August 2019 we released version E81.20 addressing usage limitation of older versions of Check Point’s Endpoint, VPN and SandBlast agent ( sk158912).
Look into sk171213 for the details.Įither way, customers should make sure to carry upgrades to supported versions (E83 or later versions) at a later time to ensure they receive the best security. Upgrade to a newer version (Recommended) or apply a simple fix to the old version. We offer our customers two options to address this request. Therefore, we urge to all customers reminding them that users of versions E81.10 and before are required to update their versions by January 1st 2021 in order to make sure their systems remain operational. Their update will become more difficult to facilitate after January 1st. Unfortunately, we see that some customers haven’t updated these old versions. These older, out of support versions – Endpoint/VPN E80.81 to E81.10 (Windows only) and SandBlast agent E80.61 to E81.10 (Windows only) – WILL CEASE TO OPERATE on January 1st 2021.
