Resolved SMB server (samba) security vulnerability (CVE-2017-7494) - Malicious clients can upload and cause the SMB server to execute a shared library from a writable share.
Resolved critical security vulnerabilities that potentially allowed unauthorized file deletion, unauthorized command execution and authentication bypass.
Improved Cloud Access connectivity from the device.
Yaaaay. And still no SHUTDOWN button in dashboard which I was asking on January. And I still hope I don’t have to restore my files, since I don’t know what the system did witch Czech diacritics at filesystem. Only thing I know is, that it did mess when playing movies through SMB share…
People have been demanding the shutdown option be re-added to the Dashboard since the initial release of the second gen v2.x firmware when it was removed from that firmware. From the Cloud Ideas subforum…
Unfortunately its not a joke. WD has, for what ever unknown reason to we end users, decided that the single bay v2.x My Cloud doesn’t need a shutdown option within the Dashboard like the older v4.x version has. Instead one is supposed to use WD Quick Access. One can search this subforum for “shutdown” to find numerous past discussions on this particular issue. There are a few unofficial alternatives from using SSH to using a web browser hack to unhide the shutdown option in the My Cloud Dashboard.
WD has a specific Knowledgebase article on how to shut down the single bay My Cloud units.
I am quite curious about this item in the release notes:
•
Improved latency of displaying thumbnails on mobile
& web app.
I have seen at least two reported instances of very sluggish behavior, including stalls on transfers, from users reporting having upgraded to this firmware. I am cautiously suspecting that the indexing daemon is more aggressive, and they did this to “resolve” this issue. The thumbnail generation software is notorious for having… “Issues”, including the “Spends hours trying to parse a single file” issue. Imagine if they gave it a higher priority in order to “resolve” the latency issue they claim to have fixed?
After the last announcement, that stayed stuck for months afterwards, and the previous release announcement remained up even after that was taken down… Maybe it’s because they edited an old thread to add the new v2 announcement.
Aha! It appears there is an ‘unpin’ button on that thread. I didn’t think I could pin or unpin a thread (only moderators could), and don’t remember doing that…
