Er is een nieuwe update voor versie 19.07 van OpenWrt uitgekomen. OpenWrt is alternatieve opensourcefirmware voor een groot aantal verschillende routers en embedded devices. Door middel van het opkg-package management system is er de mogelijkheid om zelf te bepalen wat de router allemaal wel en niet kan. Ook op GoT zijn er diverse mensen actief mee bezig, zie daarvoor dit topic. Bijwerken van de versie kan gewoon met sysupgrade vanuit de webinterface. De belangrijkste verbeteringen die in deze uitgave zijn aangebracht, zijn hieronder voor je op een rijtje gezet.
Main changes from OpenWrt 19.07.7Only the main changes are listed below. See changelog-19.07.8 for the full changelog.
Security fixes
- Fix FragAttacks (fragmentation and aggregation attacks) vulnerabilities in cfg80211, mac80211, ath10k and ath10k-ct
- We are not sure if some closed source firmware files are still affected by these problems.
- Various security fixes in packages
Note: security fixes for most packages can also be applied by upgrading only the affected packages on running devices, without the need for a full firmware upgrade. This can be done with
Major bug fixesopkg update; opkg upgrade the_package_name
or through the LuCI web interface. Nevertheless, we encourage all users to upgrade their devices to OpenWrt 19.07.8 or later versions whenever possible.Device support

Known issues
- Transition to ath79: some devices that are supported in
ar71xx
are not yet supported inath79
: this is a community effort. Helping to port devices toath79
to make them available in future releases is very welcome.- Device support: images for some device became too big to support a persistent overlay, causing such devices to lose configuration after a reboot. If you experience this problem, please report the affected device in the forum and consider downgrading to OpenWrt 18.06 or using the Image Builder to pack a smaller custom image
- Device support: conversely, certain images for devices with small flash (4 MB) are no longer built for the release
