Plex Media Server 1.32.3.7192 is now available to everyone.

This release fixes a security issue in Plex Media Server’s auto-update service on Windows. The issue allowed a local unprivileged user to cause denial of service on the system. This cannot be exploited by an attacker without existing user access to the machine, and we’re not aware of any way to use it to escalate to administrator privileges or gain code execution. Nevertheless, we recommend that all users running Plex Media Server on Windows update to this new version as soon as possible, particularly those who run it on shared systems.

NEW:

  • (NAS) - Synology - Add support for DS223 family models (rtd1619 & rtd1619b processors)

FIXES:

  • (Collections) Wording of collections display preference was confusing (#12176)
  • (DVR) Finding USB device even if it’s plugged into a different USB port (#14288)
  • (Photos) “Recently Added in Photos” may not include any items in a sub folder (#12469)
  • (PlayQueue) Playing an episode in a show that has a later aired unmatched episode could play the wrong episode (#13315)
  • Fixed release for NVIDIA Shield
  • (Windows) Certain Windows region settings could cause unexpected behaviour in some operations like scanning (#14304)
  • (Windows) Fixed potential file delete/overwrite in updater by an unprivileged user (#14370)
