Archive Operating System (AOS 6.13.1) Updates
The 6.13.1 release of the Archive Operating System contains security patches, fixes and enhancements on top of AOS 6.13.
Enhancements
Support for MS Purview Message Encryption on Journaled Emails
Microsoft Exchange allows “encryption”. When an email is encrypted, it is not actually sent (nor is the email actually encrypted). Instead, a different email may be sent, inviting the user to log into a server to view the real email. This changes the format of journaled emails. This format change for “encrypted” journaled emails is now handled in 6.13.1.

SMTP BDAT support
Some SMTP servers send the Archiver emails using “BDAT” or chunking with bare line feeds. This is an alternate communication format that we previously did not support. Use of BDAT seems to be becoming more popular in O365 and is now supported by the Archiver beginning in this 6.13.1 release.
Standby Performance Improvement
There has been a speed improvement in the transfer rate of updated search indices to warm standby systems.
Security Patches
We have applied several security patches to the Archiver as part of AOS 6.13.1.
- Eliminates path traversal attack vulnerabilities (HTTP(s)).
- Eliminates XSS cross-site scripting vulnerabilities (HTTP(s)).
- Eliminates security concern: disclosure of internal IP in “Location” header (HTTP(s)).

- Fix for: Email export dies on emails with bad Message-ID headers.
- Fix for: Gmail crawler rate limit exceeded issues on high load crawler jobs.
- Fix help page display when no related help could be found.
- Fix for: Getting Internal Error page, while clicking on “more” option on distinct addresses graph on the Dashboard page.
- Fix for: Systems sometimes used a user’s secondary address as their primary address.
- Fix for: Extremely long email addresses in to/from headers do not get indexed correctly.
- Added additional headers to outgoing emails to prevent some mail servers from rejecting them.
