| Re: [wired] Recap: BEFSX41 Stable Firmware Please note the following details:
First, WE (at BBR/DSLR) ARE the only fellows outside Linksys using BEFSX41 firmware 1.45.7. I find it hard to believe that an official organization would do any testing on beta material that you can not even find on Linksys web site.
Secondly, note that all the firmware version mentioned in there are 1.45.7 independently of which router model it is running on. Since when is Linksys sharp enough to use the same version across different model? It never happened on so many broaden range of models. Remember that BEFSX41 firmware 1.45.7 is way different than BEFSR41 firmware 1.45.7 (and please don't try to flash the wrong firmware on the wrong model). Quick observation, you can find BEFSR41 firmware 1.45.7 on Linksys web site. In other words, I think there is a typo in the article you have posted.
Finally, my Linksys contact has told me few months ago that this vulnerability is present in firmware 1.45.3 but is apparently fixed in 1.45.7. This still has to be confirmed but given the above two observation, it seems that the probabilities are good  . |
