FLASH-11635 - Remediate vulnerabilities in OpenSSL (CVE-2015-1788, CVE-2015-1789, CVE-2015-1791, and CVE-2015-3216). (S1)

FLASH-12653 - Vulnerability in SSL/TLS discovered on REST API port (CVE-2015-2808). (S1)

FLASH-12537 - Canister is marked as 'failed' because it came online before completing the upgrade. (S2)

FLASH-11481 - The node throws an assertion exception for exceeded temperature on an unused drive. (S2)

FLASH-11958 - Stats can fill the /dumps folder to capacity, which disables the node from booting. (S2)

FLASH-12689 - An unexpected canister powering off can, in some cases, cause loss of access to data due to interface failure. (S2)

FLASH-12492 - Not able to rekey if encryption was enabled after the initial array creation and a node failover has occurred on firmware version 1.1.3.x or 1.2.x.x. (S2)

FLASH-12271 - The RAID controller was falsely marked as 'failed' instead of a flash module in a particular double flash module failure scenario. (S2)

FLASH-12219 - An unexpected canister powering off can cause the other canister to warm start. (S2)

FLASH-12061 - The controller panics when no type is set on an unresponsive interface. (S2)

FLASH-9320 - Simultaneous double flash fails can result in the incorrect component being marked as 'failed.' (S2)

FLASH-11595 - Interface incorrectly fails during a sequential double flash module failure scenario. (S2)

FLASH-11567 - Spikes in Input/output latency occur due to encryption validation. (S3)

FLASH-12387 - GUI incorrectly uses the '-force' option to reboot or power off a canister or system. (S3)

FLASH-12331 - iSCSI Check Condition sense data is invalid. (S3)

FLASH-12299 - iSCSI 'Desired Data Length' incorrectly exceeds 'MaxBurstLength.' (S3)

FLASH-12298 - iSCSI packet with garbled parameters incorrectly causes port to go offline. (S3)

FLASH-12296 - iSCSI duplicate 'InitiatorName' key is not rejected at login as it should be. (S3)

FLASH-10687 - Archive stats are wrong after a canister power off. (S3)

FLASH-10170 - 'Abort Task Set' incorrectly compares sequence numbers. (S3)

FLASH-12237, FLASH-11964, FLASH-11962, FLASH-11943 - iSCSI improvements made for path failures. (S3)

FLASH-12175 - Incorrect memory free error for canceled UNMAP commands. (S3)

FLASH-12174 - Interface does not UNMAP data in a particular scenario. (S3)

FLASH-12173 - Interface allows host to surpass the UNMAP limit on block descriptors. (S3)

FLASH-11944, FLASH-11943 - High traffic on FC and iSCSI systems can cause a single command to stall. (S3)

FLASH-11933 - Traffic on iSCSI can stall if something is put in a queue. (S3)

FLASH-10276 - Improvements needed for link speed for iSCSI. (S3)

FLASH-12227 - Unexpected event for drive failure and replacement should actually be a quorum error. (S3)

FLASH-11468 - GUI shows canister offline while CLI shows canisters online. (S3)

FLASH-11184 - 'Neighbor table overflow' spamming causes Ethernet connectivity issues. (S3)

FLASH-12283 - Stale interface logins are not removed on failure as expected. (S3)

FLASH-11337 - Fault LED comes on after drive replacement and the resetleds command is issued.

FLASH-11051 - GUI becomes unresponsive. (S3)

FLASH-10111 - A link error between the drive and RAID controller gets incorrectly propagated and incorrectly fails the RAID controller. (S3)

FLASH-11477 - Flash module reports the incorrect temperature on node timeout, which results in a false critical temperature failure. (S3)

FLASH-11874 - A quick canister reseat can lead to the canister reporting 'degraded.' (S4)

FLASH-11359 - A nonconcurrent upgrade fails due to an issue in the full system boot upgrade. (S4)

FLASH-9930 - The GUI should allow the user to cancel if upgrade is in 'prepared' state. (S4)

FLASH-9241 - The GUI does not report the correct output for the lsupdate command. (S4)

FLASH-10516 - Improve logging. (S4)

FLASH-9152 - The status LED is incorrectly lit when canister is off. (S4)

FLASH-12393 - Some system stats incorrectly continue to update. (S4)

FLASH-10157 - Improve management controller packet handling. (S4)

FLASH-5869 - The 'fc_io_port_WWPN' field of the sainfo lsservicestatus command is inconsistent between protocols. (S4)

FLASH-4288 - The 'node_code_build' field of the sainfolsservicestatus command does not display the complete build number. (S4)
