NEW (10-02-2021): HP ThinPro 7.2 released

HP released a new version of its Linux based OS for Thin Clients, HP ThinPro 7.2

Some new features of this new version:

  • The initial file system size has been increased to 4 GB. Upon installation, the file system should resize to fill up the entire disk.
  • The Linux kernel and all kernel modules are now signed by HP. The secure boot chain of trust now includes the boot loader, kernel and all kernel modules.
    Customers will not be able to install their own custom kernel modules without disabling secure boot.
  • Updated the software to fix security vulnerabilities.
  • Added initial capsule update support.
  • Modified the system so components (such as Citrix) can be reinstalled after having been deleted.
  • Added H.265 decode support for units shipping with ThinPro 7.2. Units upgraded to ThinPro 7.2 in the field will not support H.265 decode.
  • GRUB FIX (boothole) — This release fixes the boothole vulnerability, CVE-2020-10713.
    • The signing key used to sign older boot loaders will be revoked by the BIOS on HP thin client devices. This means that older images containing the vulnerable boot loader will no longer boot after installing this image.
  • Updated the Citrix Receiver, VMWare View, HP FreeRDP, and Firefox clients:
    • Citrix : 20.10.0.6hp5
    • VMware Horizon View client : 2006-8.0.0-16903549hp3
    • RDP : 1.1.1-hp19.3
    • Firefox : 78.5.0esr+deb-1
