Actually, on reading the alert I thought we had the right product
already - the one from early december. but on reading the text file you
sent I see there's 'another' 7.3.2 Jumbo 1. this is driving me nuts...
I'm going to start monitoring datestaps on their ftp site or something -
seems to be the only way to detect when a version comes out...
Just for the record - if you have nw_7_3_2_jumbo.Build.11 it's not the
same as 732JumboUpdate1 Build 386

Subject: [Networker] NMC security vulnerability and customer
notification
Does anyone else think it's weird that EMC knows how to send email to me
when there's a new release of some product like DiskXtender or
Documentum, neither of which we have, but they rarely let their
customers know when there's a serious problem with one of the products
that we do have:

ftp://ftp.legato.com/pub/NetWorker/Updates/732JumboUpdate1/README%20732%
20Jumbo%20Update%201.txt
Now to EMC's credit, I *did* get email from them on March 1, telling me
about the data loss problem if using Advanced File Type devices with
NetWorker. I was very happy to see it, and thought perhaps EMC was
going to start proactively notifying me about serious problems that are
discovered in a product we do have (NetWorker). I was practically giddy
at the thought. ;-)
There was no mention of a serious security issue with NMC, though, and
there's been no email from EMC since.
Note to EMC: Most IT professionals I've met have more respect for and
trust in a vendor that notifies them when there is a problem with the
vendor's product, rather than letting the customer find out through some
third party.
Anyway, between the possibility for data loss with AFTs and the pretty
serious security problem with NMC, it looks like this update is
extremely important for most customers running 7.3.x.
