Dan Goodwin recently reported that a new Internet Explorer exploit has been released into the wild. The exploit, known as CVE-2010-0249, attacks a known vulnerability in Internet Explorer and was most notably used to compromise Google. Luckily, networks with an Astaro Security Gateway are protected against this threat.
This new release adds Windows 7 support, 64 bit optimization, support of new Intel Wi-Fi drivers, Tip of the day and many additional minor enhancements.

Continue reading for all the details. This release offers an updated version of the SSL VPN client, and we have also changed the HTTP proxy option for handling encrypted zip files to be consistent with other areas of WebAdmin. The checkbox option now says "Block unscannable content" (as it did in versions before 7.501), instead of "Pass unscannable content".

A small issue is present in the 7.500 release which can cause some installations which are using active/passive HA to behave like an active/active cluster. Customers with active/passive HA configurations shouldn't update until 7.501 is released next week.
Completing our launch process of Version 7.5, we have released the V7.500 Up2Date to our existing installation base. Users will now be able to update to V7.5 from their existing installations.
