11.0.0

March 14, 2024

New Features

  • MDDS Support: Micetro now supports MDDS appliances from BlueCat. This feature is intended for customers seeking to seamlessly incorporate MDDS appliances into their existing network infrastructure and manage them within Micetro alongside their other DNS/DHCP servers. With this enhancement, users can manage various functionalities on MDDS appliances within Micetro, including:

    • BIND options that allow viewing and editing DNS options on BIND for both for DNS servers and zones.

    • Dynamic DNS updates.

    • Network interfaces.

    • Network services such as DNS, DHCP, NTP, resolv.conf, and SNMP.

    • Syslog redirection offering the flexibility to define multiple remote logging servers, meeting a variety of logging needs.

    • MDDS appliance updates from within Micetro.

  • ISC DHCP Failover: Micetro now enables the management of ISC DHCP server-to-server failover relationships.

  • Kea 2.4 Integration: Micetro now supports the management of Kea 2.4 DHCP servers.

  • Kea Failover Management: Users can now manage Kea DHCP server-to-server failover relationships within Micetro.

  • Kea Premium Hooks: Micetro can now use Kea premium hooks to increase performance when working with Kea.

  • Undo Functionality: Users can now undo certain events while viewing event change history, effectively reverting the change. These events are:

    • Creation, deletion, or modification of DNS records.

    • Edits to custom properties.

Improvements

  • High Availability (HA) Support for mmWS: Session handling has been moved from mmWS to the Central server. This allows customers to configure multiple mmWS instances for redundancy, region, or load balancing purposes.

  • External and Multifactor Authentication: Setting up external authentication has been streamlined with the integration of Python scripts for LDAP and external authentication directly into the installation and upgrading process. Users can now easily configure integration with Okta and Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) by navigating to Admin ‣ Configuration ‣ Authentication. Additionally, a built-in test feature allows users to test if that configuration is correct.

  • New Remote for BIND: Users can now manage Response Policy Zones (RPZ) and dynamic zones.

  • Enhanced License Key Handling: Handling of license keys has been changed to include subscription keys and allow for longer expiration times.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where existing records disappeared and reappeared again. Now all existing records are shown correctly when changing the state of DNS zone from static to dynamic.

  • Excessive timeouts when trying to establish initial connections to agents have been significantly reduced.

  • Senstive SNMP information is no longer logged in the object history.

  • Object history entries are now created for the NS record within DNS zones.

  • Fixed an issue where users were unable to edit the TTL (Time To Live) for Akamai Edge record sets in the Web Interface.

  • Server grids in the web UI are now reloaded after synchronization.

  • Switching address spaces now reloads the Service Management view.

Deprecation Announcements

  • We’ve launched the new Micetro DNS/DHCP server (MDDS) appliance, marking a transition from the old Men&Mice virtual appliance platform. If you’re using the Men&Mice virtual appliance and considering an upgrade to Micetro 11.0, please reach out to our support team at support@bluecatnetworks.com for assistance with migrating smoothly to the new platform. It’s important to note that all customers will need to transition to the new appliance platform eventually, so we highly recommend making this change in the upgrade to version 11.0.

  • OpenStack support is deprecated as the versions currently supported in Micetro have reached end of life status.

  • Dyn support is deprecated as it is no longer supported by Oracle, with the target retirement date being May 31, 2023. For more information see here.


  • Support for BIND versions 9.16 and earlier is deprecated, as these versions have been declared as end of life by ISC in Q1 2024. The same applies to the subscriber edition.

  • Support for ISC DHCP versions 4.4.0 and earlier is deprecated. However, versions 4.4.1 and later will continue to be supported by Micetro, despite ISC dropping support for ISC DHCP as a whole in December 2022. This is because ISC DHCP is still widely used by Micetro customers and will likely continue to be so for some time.

  • Support for Kea version 2.0 as a service that Micetro can overlay is deprecated due to reaching end-of-life status and no longer being supported by ISC. See the roadmap for ISC Kea here. It should be noted that support for older versions of Kea is deprecated as well.


  • Support for Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2 is deprecated because Microsoft announced end of support on October 10, 2023. This applies both to hosting the Micetro solution itself and as a DNS/DHCP server that Micetro can overlay.

  • Support for Microsoft SQL Server 2012 and older versions is deprecated as these databases reached end of support on July 12, 2022. For more information on Microsoft SQL Server roadmap see here.

  • Support for Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is deprecated as this version reached end of support in Q1 2024 according to the Ubuntu release cycle.

  • PostgreSQL 11 is also deprecated as this database was out of support November 9 2023. For more information on the PostgreSQL roadmap see here

  • Python 3.7 has been deprecated in Micetro due to its end of life since June 2023, according to the python release cycle. All Python scripts, including those used in scheduled scripts or MFA (multifactor authentication), will need to be updated accordingly.

10.5.7

February 13, 2024

Improvements

  • BIND has been upgraded to v9.16.47 on the Micetro appliance to address the following security vulnerabilities:

    • CVE-2023-4408: Parsing large DNS messages may cause excessive CPU load.

    • CVE-2023-5517: Querying RFC 1918 reverse zones may cause an assertion failure when “nxdomain-redirect” is enabled.

    • CVE-2023-5679: Enabling both DNS64 and serve-stale may cause an assertion failure during recursive resolution.

    • CVE-2023-6516: Specific recursive query patterns may lead to an out-of-memory condition.

    • CVE-2023-50387: KeyTrap: Extreme CPU consumption in DNSSEC validator.

    • CVE-2023-50868: High CPU consumption in DNSSEC validator.

10.5.6

January 31, 2024

Bug Fixes

  • Resolved an issue where the creation and deletion of A records were wrongly logged twice in event history.

  • Fixed an issue that led to the web service crashing when filter parameters were sent without the required filter keyword.

  • Resolved an issue in ISC DHCP failover scopes, where leases marked as “released” were not correctly recognized as free.

  • Fixed an issue where the system encountered difficulty in locating the PythonExecutablePath when it contained spaces.

  • Fixed an issue where users who selected IPAM as their default landing page would sometimes receive an invalid session error upon logging in.

10.5.5

December 5, 2023

Known Issues

Issue: Micetro Unable to Locate Python Executable with Spaces in Path

Micetro experiences difficulty locating the Python executable when the PythonExecutablePath preference points to a path that contains spaces, impacting external and LDAP authentication configurations.

Workarounds:

  • Add the Python path to the PATH environment variable in Windows.

-OR-

  • Encase the PythonExecutablePath preference value with quotation marks on either side. Example: <PythonExecutablePath value="&quot;C:\Path with spaces\python.exe&quot;"/>

Improvements

  • Enhanced Session ID Algorithm: We’ve updated the algorithm for generating session IDs. It now uses non-deterministic random values that are automatically seeded from the underlying OS, improving security and unpredictability. This improvement addresses the security vulnerability outlined in CVE-2023-4080.

  • Script Name Fields: The script name fields (Admin ‣ Configuration ‣ Event Hooks) now only accept script names and validate the existence of the script in a folder named “scripts” under Central’s data folder. Default paths are “C:\ProgramData\Men and Mice\Central\scripts” on Windows and /var/mmsuite/mmcentral/scripts on Linux. This improvement addresses the security vulnerability outlined in CVE-2023-4079.

    While existing values for script names will continue to function, updating the value requires moving referenced scripts to the scripts folder before they can be selected in the UI.

    The system setting “Folder for scripts to be run from the API” (RunCommandsFromDirectory) has been deprecated. The current value remains functional but cannot be modified, only cleared. The default value is the scripts folder mentioned above. Scripts invoked through the RunCommand API should also be moved to the scripts folder.

    The ‘parameters’ argument to the RunCommand API has been deprecated.

    While these changes are not breaking, administrators are advised to take necessary actions, as all script invocations are expected to be limited to the scripts folder in a future major release.

Bug Fixes

  • Resolved an issue where SNMP profiles were not displayed in the table when the number of profiles exceeded a specific threshold.

  • Fixed an issue where records in recently promoted AuthServe zones could not be edited.

  • Addressed an error where the importing of host records for IP addresses would fail.

  • Resolved slowness issues when deleting a zone with a few records from AuthServe. Improved performance when deleting a zone on a Central with a PostgreSQL database.

  • Various bug fixes and improvements.
