Description of the security update for SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016: July 9, 2019

View products that this article applies to.

Summary

This security update resolves an Authentication Bypass vulnerability that allows SAML tokens to be signed by using arbitrary symmetric keys in Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) and Windows Identity Foundation (WIF). To learn more about the vulnerability, see Microsoft Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVE-2019-1006 and Microsoft Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures CVE-2019-1134.

Note To apply this security update, you must have the release version of Microsoft SharePoint Enterprise Server 2016 installed on the computer.

This public update delivers Feature Pack 2 for SharePoint Server 2016. Feature Pack 2 contains the following feature:

  • SharePoint Framework (SPFx)

This public update also delivers all the features that were included in Feature Pack 1 for SharePoint Server 2016, including:

  • Administrative Actions Logging
  • MinRole enhancements
  • SharePoint Custom Tiles
  • Hybrid Auditing (preview)
  • Hybrid Taxonomy
  • OneDrive API for SharePoint on-premises
  • OneDrive for Business modern user experience (available to Software Assurance customers)

The OneDrive for Business modern user experience requires an active Software Assurance contract at the time that the experience is enabled, either by installation of the public update or by manual enablement. If you don't have an active Software Assurance contract at the time of enablement, you must turn off the OneDrive for Business modern user experience.

Improvements and fixes

This update contains the following improvements in SharePoint Server 2016:

  • Adds support for the new Japanese era name to the Chinese word breaker to make sure that the name will be broken correctly.

  • Makes general improvements for notebooks that are located in folders that are synced through OneDrive.

Contains fixes for the following nonsecurity issues in SharePoint Server 2016:

  • You can‘t create a subsite based on a template that includes content in a site collection that has a retention policy.

  • Query Builder takes a long time to load or times out if there are many managed properties (for example, more than 10 thousand) in the Search service application (SSA).

  • Fixes an error when re-executing the backup and restore operations after executing the backup and restore operations with UI mode.

  • Fixes an issue in which resetting the role inheritance by using the SPWeb.ResetRoleInheritance method does not work on copied sites that are created by using the Copy-SPSite cmdlet.

  • In some cases, existing files are overwritten even if users don’t explicitly overwrite the files.

Contains the following improvements and fixes for nonsecurity issues in Project Server 2016:

  • Makes changes so that the first year of an era in Japanese dates on a timeline view shows as the special Kanji character (元). The Japanese date format is now consistent between the calendar date picker and the timeline view.

  • You can now update a task dependency lead and lag time by using the LinkLagDuration property through the client-side object model (CSOM). Similar to other duration properties (such as the Task.Duration property in the Task Object), LinkLagDuration accepts either a string or an integer value, such as "1d" or "480" to indicate one day of work.

  • After you change actual work values in a timesheet, you find that the columnar Total work values in the time-phased grid part of the view does not sum correctly.

  • When you query project-level information through the client-side object model (CSOM), read performance is slow if the Project Owner field is included.
