QNAP and Veritas Vulnerabilities: When Patching Feels Like a Marathon
QNAP’s weekend bug bash tackled 24 vulnerabilities, including two critical ones that hit Notes Station 3 the hardest. If their timing wasn’t enough to raise eyebrows, their previous firmware update caused more hiccups than a carbonated beverage. Remember, keeping your NAS updated is crucial, but maybe wait until Monday.
Hot Take:
It’s a weekend patch party at QNAP and Veritas, but unfortunately, it’s not the kind of party anyone wants to attend. With NAS devices and enterprise platforms playing host to a slew of vulnerabilities, it’s a reminder that even our tech needs a bit of weekend TLC – Tender Loving Cyber-caution, that is!
Key Points:
- QNAP patched 24 vulnerabilities, including two critical ones, across various products.
- Notes Station 3 was hit hardest with both critical and high-severity bugs.
- Veritas Enterprise Vault faces seven critical vulnerabilities, announced on a Sunday.
- Patching for Veritas’s vulnerabilities won’t happen until Q3 2025, leaving users to mitigate risks in the meantime.
- Both companies released advisories and some quick fixes, but users are advised to stay vigilant.
