We noticed on at least 2 environments, that the CPU load was around 100%, Memory usage 100% and Swap used 100%. Prior to the update, the servers ran happily and did not show any issues. The process list (htop) showed a lot of /opt/libreoffice7.2/program/soffice.bin tasks.

We encountered a strange issue. We uploaded a thousends of files through the IBM SBT. Upon testing the files in the File Viewer 1.0.6 we saw that *.doc worked but the *.docx wouldn't.
