No update since September 2020? Really?

asc_

The list of CVEs concerning bugs in the linux kernel is steadily growing, but the rate of updates we're getting for the UTM is in steady decline.

I know that UTM can be considered a dying horse, but nevertheless this thing is still supported and should at least be getting security fixes. None are coming.

What do you guys think about this? Are you as nervous as I am? Or am I simply too nervous about this "well-hardened" security device getting hacked?

What firewall alternatives with a good security track record are you examining?

Regards

Alex

    Hi Alex,

    I'm also wondering about the absence of any security fixes since a half year. I assume it is because the new CVEs did not match the ancient kernel (3.12.74), strongswan (4.4.1) ... so they should have to self check the new vulnerabilities and probably back port any fixes which is costly. 

    We install/maintain now more Fo*****es and examine OPNsense. The XG is no alternative for us (for different reasons I posted in the last years in the XG forum).
