As a follow-up to Dan Lam’s post in July entitled, “ContentEdge (formerly Mobius) – New Release...”, we wish to advise that Mobius 12.6.2 is now available.
----------------------
Customers planning an upgrade to a current version of Mobius should note that the Apache Tomcat version used by Mobius components has been updated to address a security vulnerability.
Starting with version 12.6.2, the embedded Apache Tomcat instance that’s included with Mobius Server has been upgraded to Apache Tomcat 11.0.25 to remediate a security vulnerability affecting the previously shipped Tomcat version.
Customers who deploy Mobius View/Rocket Content Explorer to their own Apache Tomcat environment must also upgrade their Apache Tomcat installation to version 11.0.25 before deploying this release. Deployments on earlier Tomcat versions might remain exposed to the security vulnerability addressed by this update.
- Note: This requirement applies only to customer-managed Tomcat environments hosting Mobius View/ Rocket Content Explorer. No additional action is required for the Tomcat instance embedded in Mobius Server beyond upgrading to this release.
The Rocket Development Team continues to evolve to respond at an increasingly rapid pace to address vulnerabilities to ensure you remain compliant with your organization’s security requirements.
