- Fixed a bug where essential validation checks were missing when allocating and processing FifoDescriptor (JIRA: PLAT-896).

By utilizing ROP the attacker could execute arbitrary code and leak anything accessible by the enclave.
7. Known Issues
- An account could be lost if account tables are inconsistent between nodes. Make sure a backup is successful before proceeding with ANY upgrade (JIRA: PROD-4234).
- When a node is removed from a 3-node cluster with build 4.2.2087, and the 2-node cluster is upgraded with build 4.3.xxxx, it is possible that the deploy job is exited and marked completed before cluster upgrade (JIRA: DEVOPS-2068). Workaround: If all the pods are healthy, you can deploy the version again.
- The sync key API returns a “400 status code and response error” due to the short-term access token expiry during the sync key operation of a group linked to AWS KMS (JIRA: PROD-3903).
exclude
does not work in the proxy config for operations such as attestation (JIRA: PROD: 3311).
