Rilis Qubes OS 4.2.2

The Qubes OS team have announced a new update to the project’s security-focused sistem operasi. One of the significant changes in Qubes OS 4.2.2 is an adjustment to how files are transferreed between isolated envirnonments, called qubes.

Qubes 4.2.2 mencakup a fix for #8332: File-copy qrexec service is overly restrictive. As explained in the issue comments, we introduced a change in Qubes 4.2.0 that caused inter-qube file-copy/move actions to reject filenames containing, e.g., non-Latin characters and certain symbols. The rationale for this change was to mitigate the security risks associated with unusual unicode characters and invalid encoding in filenames, which some software might handle in an unsafe manner and which might cause confusion for users. Such a change represents a trade-off between security and usability. After the change went live, we received several user reports indicating more severe usability problems than we had anticipated. Moreover, these problems were prompting users to resort to dangerous workarounds (such as packing files into an archive format prior to copying) that carry far more risk than the original risk posed by the unrestricted filenames. In addition, we realized that this was a backward-incompatible change that should not have been introduced in a minor release in the first place. Informasi tambahan tersedia in the pengumuman rilis .
