Other Microsoft products with patches are Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer, the.The April security update patches issues in all supported versions and editions of Microsoft Windows.Microsoft switched the information system to the Security Update Guide fully. Security Bulletins are no longer provided.So it seems that if you have firmware BT (SG4B1000B540) you are ok,a false positive i suppose, because BT to lazy to update the version number,though saying in May it will be fixed in the next couple of months, we are still waiting.Įdited by beefy2, 22 December 2018 - 06:56 AM. Our developers are always working to improve our products' capabilities, but there are sometimes limitations (especially when dealing with mobile devices and operating systems) that can make it difficult to achieve the same high level of features and performance. The mobile version of the Wi-Fi Inspector may have passed the network as clean because it is not quite as advanced as the PC version. This would stop the detection from occurring, but I'm afraid that BT have yet to incorporate this update into their firmware. I'm afraid that we cannot prevent the vulnerability from being reported because Wi-Fi inspector is not able to check for the patch from BT. In their post on the forum, the BT community manager states that "There will be a future update coming which will address the DNSMASQ version number". Unfortunately, because BT decided to patch the vulnerability, the older version number of DnsMasq is still detected by Wi-Fi inspector. However, BT state that they patched the vulnerability directly in May this year (rather than updating DnsMasq). Please see this post from a BT community manager about the patch on their support forums The BT Home Hub firmware uses this older version of DnsMasq. If an older version is installed, Wi-Fi inspector will alert you to the vulnerability. When Wi-Fi inspector scans your network devices, it checks the version number of this software. To explain the issue, the ID:CVE-2017_14491 vulnerability is present in older versions of DnsMasq (which is software that is widely used on routers). I would recommend that as free user, you can always post on our forum ( ) where users and Avast team members will be able to assist you. I can assure that we do not mean to prevent you from contacting us, especially for an issue such as this which is obviously very concerning. I'm very sorry that you found it difficult to get in touch with us. Ok i think its sorted,could not find a direct way to ask a question to Avast,got a continuous loop every time i said it was about free i was refered to the forum,if it was a paid for product i could have asked a question, so i asked the CEO direct and got following reply.
