Purpose

This patch release also merges an enhancement previously released as FRP 4.3 Hotfix 1013483 thatincreases the overall security of USB devices and CD/DVDs by making it harder for attackers to do abrute-force attack on the user's password, especially where the user's password is relatively weak.

Irrespective of this security enhancement, the password strength is important. McAfee recommends astrong password policy for the authentication/recovery mechanism of encrypted USB devices andCD/DVDs.
