Patches are available for the following Veeam Backup & Replication versions:

Notes:

  • The patch must be installed on the Veeam Backup & Replication server. Managed servers with Veeam Distribution Service will be updated automatically after installing the patch.
  • All new deployments of Veeam Backup & Replication version 11 and 10 installed using the ISO images dated 20220302 or later are not vulnerable.
  • If you are using Veeam Backup & Replication 9.5, please upgrade to a supported product version.
  • Temporary mitigation of the vulnerabilities: Stop and disable the Veeam Distribution Service. The Veeam Distribution Service is installed on the Veeam Backup & Replication server and servers specified as distribution servers in Protection Groups.
