Readers are reminded that the certification of this product (TOE) is the result of maintenance, rather than an actual re-evaluation of the product.  Maintenance only considers the affect of TOE changes on the assurance baseline (i.e. the original evaluated TOE); maintenance is not intended to provide assurance in regard to the resistance of the TOE to new vulnerabilities or attack methods discovered since the date of the initial certificate.  Such assurance can only be gained through re-evaluation. 

Using a security impact analysis of the changes made to the TOE, which was provided by the developer, the CCEVS has determined that the impact of changes on the TOE are considered minor and that independent evaluator analysis was not necessary.  A summary of the results can be found in the Maintenance Report, which is written in relation to the product's original validation report and Security Target.  Readers are therefore reminded to read the Security Target, Validation Report, and the Assurance Maintenance Report to fully understand the meaning of what a maintained certificate represents. 

Product Description

There were 87 non-security relevant firmware changes associated with this Assurance Continuity update.  There was the addition of two new hardware models (ST18000NM002D and ST20000NM005D).  The new hardware versions are based on the existing certified hardware models and the hardware change is minor in scope to achieve greater storage capacity.  There were no changes to the Development Environment, or to the Security Functions.  The following table is an accounting of the firmware changes divided into the sub-categories: New Features and Feature Enhancements, Performance Improvements, and Bug Fixes.  Detailed information regarding each of the firmware changes is provided in the IAR (Impact Analysis Report).
