- Fixed a bug where access restriction settings were disabled when restarting the LinkStation after configuring ... restrictions for the shared folders. If this occurs, settings will not be restored even if the firmware update is applied. In such a case, configure the access restrictions again after the firmware update.

- Modified to deal with Samba programming vulnerabilities (CVE-2014-0178 and CVE-2015-0240).

- Fixed a bug where a backup job could not be added if the backup target folder contains full-width spaces in its name.

- Fixed a bug where a shared folder, user, or group could not be created if its name contains specific symbols.

How to Update the Firmware

1. Connect the LinkStation to the computer that will run the updater, and make sure both devices are on the same network subnet. The subnet masks should be the same and the first three numbers of the IP addresses should be the same. The last number of the IP addresses should be different.

For example, if the IP address / subnet mask of the computer is

"192.168.0.10 / 255.255.255.0"

and the IP address / subnet mask of the LinkStation is

"192.168.1.150 / 255.255.255.0",

then they will not work together properly.

In such a case, reconfigure the values for the LinkStation to

" 192.168.0.150 / 255.255.255.0 "

2. Exit all applications. Also, disable or exit any firewall software. You may resume firewall after the update is complete.

3. Extract the downloaded file and run LSUpdater.exe . When a LinkStation is detected, an update window will open.

4. If multiple LinkStation units are connected, select which unit to update.

5. Click 'Update' and enter the LinkStation's admin password.

6. Click 'OK'.

7. The firmware will begin updating. The info LED will flash during the update process.
