I purchased a 2TB Share Space this week, which has version 2.1.92 firmware installed. This includes Twonkymedia version 4.4.9. The latest version 4 release of Twonkymedia is 4.4.18, which includes many fixes and a major securiy fix. (See http://www.securiteam.com/securitynews/6R00L2KPPS.html). I have tried installing the latest Linux build from Twonky, but this fails on the Share Space due to OEM restrictions.
Is there a planned update to the ShareSpace to include a secure release of Twonkymedia? If not, is there advice available from WD on how to install the generic Twonky Liunx release (possibly ARM Little-endian with GLIB 2.2.5)?
I know there was an update for the My Book World drives (The Sharespace’s little brother) which included a twonky update, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see an update. As far as I am aware they haven’t announced any plans yet though.
I recommend you raising a support ticket with the detail you’ve provided and have them escalate this through to Product Management if required. That will be the only way to elicit a formal response and hopefully resolution.
