Important information:
Following on from two vulnerabilities identified on October 11th 2023, the open-source curl project has recommended that users of the libcurl library upgrade to use the latest version of this library.

BCC makes extensive use of the open-source library curl (or libcurl) in many of its products. This library is used by our products when transferring data over HTTP or HTTPS. The curl open-source project has announced a new version (8.4.0) addressing the security vulnerabilities identified.

We are now pleased to announce that our latest versions of all products will use curl version 8.4.0, which is identified as not having the vulnerabilities. The new version Coexistence Gateway - Free Busy 2.0.0.1 is now available on our download website.

More details on the vulnerabilities can be found at https://curl.se/docs/CVE-2023-38545.html or https://www.intruder.io/blog/curl-high-rated-cve-2023-38545 

 

BCC Coexistence Gateway - Free Busy

BCC Coexistence Gateway - Free Busy is a Domino server based add-on task, that complements the Domino CalConn task and enhances it to remotely look up calendars on Exchange or Microsoft/365. Conversely, the tool responds to requests from Exchange for calendar freebusy lookup.

The product is provided as a binary with an NTF file for configuration. No installation is required at the Exchange side, but Powershell scripts have to be run according to the install guide. There are different scripts for Exchange on Premise vs Microsoft 365.

BCC Coexistence Gateway - Free Busy can operate on the same Server as MailProtect Coexistence Mail or Mail Migration Engine, but does not require these products.
