On May 21, Veeam Backup & Replication 12.1.2 has been released.
This update contains important security bug fixes for the Enterprise Manager, including CVE-2024-29849 with a score of 9.8 and CVE-2024-29850 with a score of 8.8.
Please note, that CVE-2024-29849 allows an unauthenticated attacker to log in to the Veeam Backup Enterprise Manager web interface as any user. So, consider to update ASAP.
In addition to the security bug fixes, there are many new improvements and features. I won’t post all of them here, but a few are interesting for me:
Improved VMware NBD (Network Transport Mode) transport mode performance by up to 2x;
AlmaLinux 9.3 and Rocky 9.3 are supported for use as Linux-based backup repositories and backup proxies;
VMware Cloud Director 10.4.1 and 10.4.1.1 support;
Veeam Agent for Linux 6.1.2.1781 – AlmaLinux 9.3 & 9.4, RHEL 9.4, Rocky 9.3 & 9.4, and Ubuntu 24.04 Linux distributions support.
In total, there are about 100 improvements and fixes. So even if you don’t use the Enterprise Manager, consider installing this update to add support for new systems’ versions and bug fixes.
