Zimbra Collaboration Joule 8.8.15 Patch 27 GA Release
Check out the Security Fixes,What's New, Fixed Issues, and Known Issues for this version of Zimbra Collaboration. Please refer to the Patch Installation section for Patch Installation instructions. As always, you are encouraged to tell us what you think in the Forums or open a support ticket to report issues.
NOTE: If you are upgrading or migrating from an older version of Zimbra to Zimbra 8.8 Production Ready, please read Things to Know Before Upgrading and First Steps with the Zimbra NG Modules for critical information before you upgrade.
Critical Security Fix
This patch contains a critical security fix that affects previous Zimbra 8.8.15 "Joule" patches: Patch-26, Patch-25, Patch-24, Patch-23. We strongly advise that our Partners and Customers immediately upgrade to the latest patch: Zimbra 8.8.15 Patch-27.
To keep your systems secure, Zimbra encourages our Partners and Customers to always keep current with patches. Zimbra releases patch information directly to Partners and Customers via our regular newsletters, website, blog, and social posts, in addition to this wiki.
Security Recommendation
Zimbra would strongly recommend the customer to review whether the Proxy Servlet is configured to allow a particular host (via zimbraProxyAllowedDomains configuration setting on each class of services), please make sure each entry in zimbraProxyAllowedDomains should be a safe and trusted host, there should NOT be any wild card entries like *.webex.com instead use specific host example.webex.com.
Any entry in zimbraProxyAllowedDomains resolves to an internal IP address (such as 127.0.0.1), an attacker could possibly access services running on a different port on the same server, which would normally not be exposed publicly. So we urge our customers to review this configuration setting to ensure that there are no vulnerabilities are introduced.

What's New
NOTE: Beta features are not supported and should not be installed on production systems. Beta modules have been provided for evaluation in lab environments only.
Ubuntu 20 Support (Beta)
We are nearing the end of our extensive QA cycle for this major upgrade. Watch for the GA announcement in an upcoming patch release.
Package Upgrade
Openldap has been upgraded from 1.1.1k to 1.1.1l.
Fixed Issues
Web UX - Classic
- In Classic Web App, when the user tries to set up a weekly recurring appointment by visiting Repeat -> Custom and selects a Day from the dropdown, then revisits the Day dropdown and change the day, then the previous selection was not removed and the checkmark from the previous selection was not removed. The issue has been fixed.
- When creating an appointment, clicking "Show Equipment" displays the Equipment field. If the user closes the tab, opens it again and clicks on "Show Equipment", the Equipment field was not displayed. Clicking "Show Equipment" for the second time displays the Equipment field. The issue has been fixed.
ZCO
- When *zimbraMtaMaxMessageSize* was set to zero, ZCO users were not able to send emails. The issue has been fixed.
- When using mixed ZCO profiles (Exchange and Zimbra), sending an email with an attachment resulted in an error. The issue has been fixed.
NG General
- *getNotification* core command now supports json output when using *--json* option in the command.
- Fixed a couple of issues that prevented the mail items to be properly purged in case of centralized volumes and the Drive items to be always purged.
Zimbra Connect
- Fixed an unexpected behavior that prevented the emoji panel to close when it is opened and a file is dropped in a conversation with the purpose of sending it.
- Notifications of new meetings have been removed on participating in a meeting from an external tab.
- Minichat configuration now differentiates the conversations to be displayed. Users can now decide whether to show mini chats or not based on the chat as the configuration differentiates between one-to-one chats, groups and spaces.
- Fixed *UsersCleanup* command to properly remove deleted users' data from all conversations participants list.
- Minichats no more open for system messages in conversations such as: Meeting started, Meeting ended, Someone joins the conversation, Someone lefts the conversation, Someone has changed the topic, title, avatar of conversation
- Now "videoserver" is displayed instead of "video server" in the example of command help "zxsuite team video-server add" or "zxsuite team video-server remove".
- Fixed the height for bubble messages during meetings in the Safari browser.
- Fixed a bug that prevented the inserted text from showing in the one-to-one chat textbox on searching for the contact to add.
Known Issues
Platform
- The /opt/zimbra/.saveconfig directory permissions are not updated correctly by zmfixperms command. Due to this, upgrading zimbra-openjdk-cacerts package fails.
Workaround:- Before upgrading the package, change the permissions of /opt/zimbra/.saveconfig directory manually by executing the command chown zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/.saveconfig/.
