ArcGIS for Server Security 2016 Update 2 Patch

Published: May 20, 2016

Summary

This security patch addresses multiple security vulnerabilities found in ArcGIS for Server. Esri recommends that all customers using ArcGIS Server 10.2.2 and 10.3.1 apply this patch. Customers who are using 10.2 or 10.2.1 should first apply 10.2.2. Customers who are using 10.3 should first apply 10.3.1.

Description

EsriĀ® announces the ArcGIS for Server Security 2016 Update 2 Patch. Esri recommends that all customers using ArcGIS Server 10.2.2 and 10.3.1 apply this patch. This patch deals specifically with the issue listed below under Issues Addressed with this patch.

This security patch is cumulative and includes several non-security related fixes from an earlier patch that are also listed below under Issues Addressed with this Patch.

Important Note: After applying this patch WMTS services published in EPSG:4326 will not align correctly when consumed in ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Engine. To resolve this issue apply appropriate patch (for ArcGIS Desktop and ArcGIS Engine) from the ArcGIS for (Desktop, Engine, Server) WMTS Tiles Misalignment Patch.

Important Note: After applying this patch only administrators can publish geoprocessing services and deploy service extensions (both server object extensions, SOEs, and server object interceptors, SOIs). For more information, including how to disable this setting, see Change geoprocessing service and service extension publishing privileges.
