[German]The Berlin-based German manufacturer of routers, AVM, has released its FRITZ.OS version 7.57 for eligible FRITZ!Box models on September 4, 2023. AVM only writes that this firmware update is a necessary stability and security update. It is therefore unclear which vulnerabilities has been fixed. The manufacturer intends to publish details at a later date, which might be related to the fact that not all FRITZ!Box models have been updated to the new firmware yet. Rumors in the internet says that a serious vulnerability has been deteced in FRITZ!Box 7590 models and attacks in the wild are observed. I have compiled what the Internet believes to know.
Small note to administrators in the Windows environment. As far as I know, it hasn't been officially announced yet, but Microsoft is working on renaming its Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC). If not everything is wrong, the function will soon be called Application Control for Business. At least that's according to Group Policy designations distributed with Windows Insider Previews.
Microsoft has released a firmware update for its Surface Laptop 4 on August 31, 2023, which is supposed to fix security issues and a charging problem. In addition, there is probably the (presumably) last firmware update for the Surface Duo smartphone.
