Citrix and Sophos products have been impacted by leap year flaws, leading to unexpected problems in their products.
Leap years solve the synchronization problem caused by the Gregorian calendar measuring a year in 365 days, while the astronomical year is 365.24 days.
Citrix says its engineering team is working on a fix for the issue so that users won't have this problem during the next leap year, on February 29th, 2028.
Sophos also announced that Sophos Endpoint, Sophos Server, and Sophos Home may experience problems in the form of unexpected security certification validation warnings for HTTPS websites if devices are rebooted on February 29th, 2024.
Sophos Endpoint - Sophos automatically disabled SSL/TLS decryption for all customers to prevent issues.
Sophos Server versions 2023.2.x - Sophos has disabled SSL/TLS decryption via policy override for all.
