Release build 4.3.1

This release was developed for use with:

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 4.6.7, 4.6.8

McAfee ePolicy Orchestrator 5.1, 5.1.1

Purpose
This patch release adds enhancements and fixes problems that were reported in the previous version.
This patch release also merges an enhancement previously released as FRP 4.3 Hotfix 1013483 that
increases the overall security of USB devices and CD/DVDs by making it harder for attackers to do a
brute-force attack on the user's password, especially where the user's password is relatively weak.
Irrespective of this security enhancement, the password strength is important. McAfee recommends a
strong password policy for the authentication/recovery mechanism of encrypted USB devices and
CD/DVDs.
For more information about this security enhancement, please refer to the KnowledgeBase article
KB83095.
Rating
Recommended McAfee recommends this patch release for all environments. Apply this update at the
earliest convenience.
