[5.0] Patch 1 - June 24, 2025

Fortanix Data Security Manager (DSM) 5.0.2819.3127 release provides an overview of resolved issues.

This release is superseded by the July 07, 2025, release.

WARNING

• You are REQUIRED to upgrade Fortanix DSM to version 4.36 Patch 1 before upgrading to version 5.0.2819.3127.

  • If you want to upgrade Fortanix DSM to version 5.0.2819.3127 from version 4.34 Patch 3, then you must follow the upgrade path 4.34 Patch 3 → 4.36 Patch 3 → 5.0.2819.3127.

  • If you want to upgrade Fortanix DSM to version 5.0.2819.3127 from a version earlier than 4.34, please contact the Fortanix Support team at your earliest to validate the upgrade path.

• Downgrade from 5.0.2819.3127 to any prior version is not supported due to an upgrade of the appliance operating system.

NOTE

• If you are using a custom sudo user, ensure that the default administrator user is enabled with root privileges before upgrading to Fortanix DSM version 5.0.2819.3127. The administrator user must be able to log in with a password and be part of the sudo group.

  During the upgrade, the /etc/sudoers file is overwritten, which can result in the loss of sudo access for the custom sudo user.

• The Fortanix DSM cluster upgrade must be done with Fortanix Support on call. Please reach out to Fortanix support if you are planning an upgrade.

• The customer's BIOS version must be checked by Fortanix Support before the Fortanix DSM software upgrade. If required, the BIOS version should be upgraded to the latest version and verified by Fortanix Support for a smooth upgrade.

• If your Fortanix DSM version is 4.31 or later, then the HSM Gateway version must also be 4.31 or later. Similarly, if the HSM Gateway version is 4.31 or later, then your Fortanix DSM version must be 4.31 or later.

• Do not remove a Fortanix DSM node during the upgrade to version 5.0.2819.3127. Please contact Fortanix Support in case of an error or issue.

1. Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that allowed a user with a restrictive custom role (for example, UPDATE_ADMIN_APPS) to escalate privileges by updating an administrative application’s (app's) credentials and assigning it a more powerful role (for example, a role with all permissions in the account) (JIRA: PROD-10315).

• Fixed an issue where users could log in to only one account type when Fortanix DSM normal accounts and system administration accounts were configured with different LDAP Single Sign-On (SSO) settings (JIRA: ES-511).
