They used to put the affected versions in the email, but that stopped a few months ago. Now it’s just a vague “product is affected, click the link to learn more”. Every. Time. the support part of their site gets hugged to death as if the uptick in traffic to it is completely unexpected.

So now I have Schrodinger’s vulnerability until whatever potato-class servers they have their support bulletins running on frees up enough slots to render a frigging static HTML page.

It’s almost as bad as news teasers that are like “Is something in your house going to kill you in the next 30 seconds? Find out more at 11!”

      Good resource, though. With these, they’re appliances and you don’t update packages individually: you just update the whole firmware.

      Our org’s firmware update cadence is quarterly unless there’s a vulnerability that needs to be addressed. So that’s what I’m trying to determine so I can get the maintenance window scheduled. We just updated everything last month.
