TIBCO JasperReports 6.4.2 security release

TIBCO JasperReports has recently been updated to fix two security vulnerabilities in the application.

Versions 6.4.0, 6.3.2, 6.3.1, 6.3.0 and 6.2.3 and below contain a vulnerability which may allow a subset of authorized users to perform persistent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. Version 6.4.0 is also affected by a vulnerability which fails to prevent remote access to the contents of the web application, including key configuration files. More information about these security issues can be found in the official advisories:

TIBCO has released updated versions of the affected components which address these issues. For new application deployments, including the Bitnami Launchpad, we have released JasperReports 6.4.2 containers, installers, virtual machines and cloud images that include the security fixes to address these vulnerabilities. Users launching Bitnami JasperReports via a cloud marketplace are advised to select version 6.4.2, once it is published.
