AWS filegateway documentation change
Summary
Added release notes for software versions 2.1.5 and 1.28.5, including maintenance updates for security and performance, a note about new dependency on DCE/RPC Endpoint Mapper (port 135), and continued deprecation of NTLM protocol.
Security assessment
The change documents security improvements (deprecation of NTLM, which is a less secure authentication protocol) and new network requirements (port 135) that could impact security posture if not properly configured. However, this is routine release documentation rather than addressing a specific, disclosed security vulnerability.
