    SG 5 Update #17

    Note:

    • It is recommended to reboot the gateway (via Admin GUI or CLI) after applying this update in order for some of the fixes to apply, namely the CVE-2026-31431 vulnerability fix and the network performance tuning.
    • This update comes with HA-specific features:
      • This update will apply automatically to the connected HA peer if the peer is already at 16 or 17 update level.
      • If the connected peer’s update level is lower than 16 or higher than 18, the update will abort prematurely and not apply anything on either machine.

    This update includes the following enhancements:

    • Add Microsoft Graph API support for sending email
    • Allows a static destination-based route out Management Port or one of the WAN links to specify its source IP behaviour:
      • Use Floating IP,
        • Selecting this allows packets following this static route out the specified interface to pick up the floating IP as the source IP
          • Note: if floating IP is disabled, this route will not be brought up.
      • Use Physical IP, or
      • Default (will use physical IP, even in the presence of floating IP)
    • SMPP Settings GUI enhanced to allow configuration of more fields that are sent to the configured SMPP server
      • New fields added: Source/Destination Type of Number (TON) and Numbering Plan Identification (NPI)
    • PMS enhancement:
      • Cybersource – Logs API messages inside PHP log (/log/php/php.log) for enhanced troubleshooting
    • Security enhancements:
      • Prevents various kernel vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-43284, CVE-2026-43500, CVE-2026-46300, CVE-2026-31431, CVE-2026-31635
    • Web server enhancements:
      • Improved stability
      • Resolved some vulnerabilities: CVE-2026-42945, CVE-2026-49975
    • Network performance tuning
      • Set RX/TX ring buffer size of LAN and WAN network ports to the maximum values allowed by the hardware
    • Client Manager update for improved ARP responsiveness in the rare situation where database becomes sluggish

    This update contains the following fixes:

    • Networking-related fixes:
      • Fixed network device’s permanent ARP entry not being brought up when its associated WAN interface is brought down and then up
      • Fixed some static routes not being brought up when interface is brought up, e.g. upon system power-up
      • Fixed source route becoming disabled when the floating IP of the associated WAN link is turned off
      • Moved unauthenticated users to a dedicated QoS tier enjoying the full bandwidth allowed by the gateway. This resolved the issue where unauthenticated users are not getting landing page when the None QoS tier is already heavily utilized by authenticated users.
      • Fixed downstream users in a QoS class (with no per-client/account rate limit) experiencing slowness when there are many users in the same QoS class
    • Fixes for downstream authentication:
      • Fixed MAC-blocked device gaining internet access under an auto-login location
      • Shiji PMS – Resolved the issue where guest info retrieval fails, returning an “Invalid filter syntax” error

      • Added admin audit trail for editing of WAN Firewall rules
      • Resolved the issue where adding a pre-existing static route that is not through LAN caused the interface selection to toggle to LAN in the response page
    • Fixed not being able to clean up session log entries when there are a huge number of them
    • Fixed not being able to retrieve software version information from HA peer when HA peer is under certain SSH load.
      • This resolved the issue where ASP wrongly determined that there was software version mismatch between the HA nodes and sent out notification emails.
    • Fixed a rare problem where lawful intercept did not start logging upon service start
    • Fixed malformed SMPP packet sent out by the gateway
    • Fixed GUI-triggered Change HA ID causing the machine to get stuck in the passive mode

    High Availability (HA) Requirements

    This update is HA-compatible

    • If the connected slave unit is running Update 13, 14, or 15, this update will proceed.
    • This update will attempt to update the connected slave unit if the connected slave unit is running Update 13 or 14.
    • If the connected slave is outside of 13, 14 or 15, the update will stop. The slave must be isolated, individual nodes updated to the required same version, and then re-paired.

    SG 5 Update #14

    Important Pre-Update Information

    1. Verify System Time Before Updating
    Please ensure the gateway’s system time is accurate before applying this update.
    Use Settings > Date & Time > Sync Now with a valid NTP server (e.g. pool.ntp.org).
    Incorrect system time may cause patch sequencing issues and impact future updates.

    2. For Microsoft Exchange Email Users
    If you previously applied the temporary workaround of disabling Multi-Factor Authentication (for sender email address), i.e. reverting to Basic SMTP Authentication, to allow sending email via Microsoft Exchange, we strongly recommend the following:

    Apply this update.
          a. Configure OAuth authentication on your Exchange server.
          b. Apply this update.
          c. Enter your OAuth credentials in the gateway’s SMTP Server settings.
          d. Remove the temporary workaround on the Exchange side

    Note: Microsoft will disable Basic SMTP Authentication starting 1 March 2026, so timely migration to OAuth is required to ensure uninterrupted email functionality.

    If you previously applied the temporary workaround of whitelisting source IP to send out email, though the disabling of Basic SMTP Authentication will not affect this, it is still recommended to eventually move to the more secure OAuth authentication.

    3. Email Configuration Requirements for Successful Update
    This update introduces a unified SMTP Server configuration. The update will abort if conflicting email settings are detected.

    To proceed, please ensure:
    If Email Client is configured “Local” and Email Server Forwarding is “OFF”
    → Switch Email Client to “None” or “External” or enable Email Server Forwarding.

    If Email Client is configured “External” and Email Server Forwarding is “Enabled”
    → The SMTP host and port must match. Otherwise:
         – Disable Email Server Forwarding, or
         – Align both configurations to identical server and port values.
         – All configured sender email addresses (Accounts, Reports, Email Client) must be identical.

    After correcting any discrepancies, re-run the update.

    4. High Availability (HA) Requirements
    This update is HA-compatible.
         – If the connected slave unit is running Update 13, 14, or 15, this update will proceed.
         – This update will attempt to update the connected slave unit if the connected slave unit is running Update 13 or 14.
         – If the connected slave is outside of 13, 14 or 15, the update will stop. The slave must be isolated, individual nodes updated to the required same version, and then re-paired.

    Note: All wildcard and multiple domains specified in the certificate will take effect unless overwritten by the user-entered multiple domains.

         – Enhanced firewall stability
         – Enhanced disk security

    Email System Modernization
    All outgoing email—system notifications, reports, account maintenance messages, and API-based messages—now uses a centralized SMTP Server configuration.

    Key changes:
         – Local Email Server forwarding is now integrated into the unified SMTP system
         – Legacy SMTP “bypass mode” on port 25 is removed
         – Using the gateway as an SMTP server (forwarding OFF) is no longer supported
         – External Email Client or Email Server forwarding configuration is migrated automatically if the settings are unambiguous
         – Full support for OAuth 2.0 SMTP Authentication, aligning with Microsoft’s 2026 authentication changes

    Other Enhancements
         – New “file_download” API for custom login pages
         – Reduced log sizes for web server and HTTPS walled-garden proxy

    Discontinuation of Advanced QoS Plus and Web-Filtering Modules on SG 5 Series

    Overview

    Effective August 01, 2025, ANTlabs will discontinue offering the Advanced QoS Plus module and Web-Filtering service for the SG 5 range of gateways.

    This change affects only the Advanced QoS Plus and Web-Filtering optional add-ons. All other features — including standard QoS, access control functions, and the Advanced QoS module — will continue to be supported and available.

    Key Points

    Discontinued:

    • Advanced QoS Plus module
    • Web-Filtering service

    Still available and supported:

    • Standard QoS
    • Access Control features
    • Advanced QoS module (not affected by this change)
    • Availability for Special Projects

    Note: While these modules will no longer be bundled or offered by default in new SG 5 deployments, they may still be made available on a project basis upon request, subject to commercial and technical considerations.

    Our Commitment

    ANTlabs continues to deliver intelligent and scalable network management solutions. Though we are retiring selected optional modules, our team retains deep expertise in supporting traffic shaping and content control needs as required.

    In line with our roadmap, we will be introducing new service modules and enhancements in the coming months to address the evolving needs of the hospitality industry.

    SG 5 Update #13

    This update adds the following:  

       – PMS System Compatibility: Resolved an issue that caused non-web-based PMS systems to stop functioning correctly.

       – HA Failover Performance: Fixed a problem on some SG 5200 deployments where failover took longer than expected.

       – LDAP Authentication Fix: Addressed an issue where admin GUI login via LDAP authentication failed when the LDAP server used LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS.

       – Account Expiry Issue: Fixed a bug where user accounts created through the account printer expired immediately after creation. 

    Note: This update shall also update the HA peer node without having to failover, provided the HA peer node is already patched up to Update 12.
    So, you would need to ensure that both HA nodes are patched up to Update 12 and then apply Update 13 to take advantage of this feature (automatic patching of HA peer without failing over).
