What to do

Solution: All users of affected Innominate mGuard devices may either update to one of the following firmware versions: 7.6.4, 8.0.3, 8.1.0, 8.1.1, or higher, or use the hotfix-CVE-2014-2356.tar.gz patch-update to fix their systems without updating any other component. The patch can be applied by either uploading the patch-update as “Local Update” or by the “Online Update” functionality and using hotfix-CVE-2014-2356 as “Package set name.” In addition, Innominate recommends limiting access to the administrative interfaces via firewall rules to the minimum necessary.
