Premise

On December 13, 2022, Jaspersoft released a Service Pack with security fixes for the commercial releases of JasperReports Server 8.0.x and 8.1.x. The Service Pack is available for download from the TIBCO Support Portal, and more details about the addressed issues can be found on our Security Advisories page.

Issue

The Service Pack is compatible with most builds of the corresponding versions 8.0.2 and 8.1.0 of JasperReports Server. If you don't see your JasperReports Server build number listed below, you can install the Service Pack following the standard steps from the README file.  

However, the Service Pack from December 13, 2022 is not compatible with several latest builds of cumulative hotfix for JRS versions 8.0.2 and 8.1.0.

Please see the section below for the complete lists of the non-supported cumulative hotfix builds.

Compatibility by Version

For JasperReports Server 8.0.2

the following cumulative hotfix builds are NOT compatible with the Service Pack 8.0.3:

• hotfix_JRSPro8.0.2_cumulative_20221007_0310.zip
• hotfix_JRSPro8.0.2_cumulative_20221021_1338.zip
• hotfix_JRSPro8.0.2_cumulative_20221031_1613.zip
• hotfix_JRSPro8.0.2_cumulative_20221102_0944.zip
• hotfix_JRSPro8.0.2_cumulative_20221108_1535.zip
• hotfix_JRSPro8.0.2_cumulative_20221114_0154.zip
• hotfix_JRSPro8.0.2_cumulative_20221206_1040.zip
• hotfix_JRSPro8.0.2_cumulative_20221208_0915.zip

For JasperReports Server 8.1.0

the following cumulative hotfix builds are NOT compatible with the Service Pack 8.1.1:

• hotfix_JRSPro8.1.0_cumulative_20220930_0923.zip
• hotfix_JRSPro8.1.0_cumulative_20221024_0418.zip

If you have a JasperReports Server build incompatible with the Service Pack 8.0.3 or 8.1.0 

If you are currently using a JasperReports Server build that is listed in the section above, it means that one of the newest versions of JRS hotfixes was applied to your JRS instance. In that case, at the moment the best approach for applying the Service Pack is as follows:

• Re-install JasperReports Server of your corresponding version (8.0.2 or 8.1.1) from the original (vanilla) distribution.
  NOTE: The underlying Repository Database for the JRS instance may remain untouched. Only the deployment in the application server (usually in the WAR file format) needs to be re-deployed
• Apply the Service Pack for your corresponding version (8.0.3 or 8.1.1) to the new JRS deployment

Alternatively, you can wait for the changes from the aforementioned builds to be backported to cumulative hotfixes for versions 8.0.3 and 8.1.1. These cumulative hotfixes will be released as soon as they pass all the necessary test.   

How to check your JasperReports Server build number

On any page of JasperReports Server user interface, click on the 'About' link in the bottom left corner of any page of the application. A small pop-up window will appear which shows the build version of your deployment:
