SecureDrop Inbox 1.7.1 is now available and will automatically be installed as part of your regular preflight updates; no further action is needed.

This release addresses an issue where exporting to USB devices would fail because of a change in how our custom grsecurity-patched Linux kernel restricts the modules needed to decrypt LUKS- and VeraCrypt-encrypted drives. We now set a defined preload list within the export VM to ensure the necessary modules will always be available.

For some VeraCrypt drives that do not use the default settings, the fix may not be sufficient. If you continue to encounter errors, please reach out to support.
