14 DAY TRIAL // Western Digital has just rolled out new firmware packages compatible with My Cloud NAS models, which resolve Shellshock bash security vulnerabilities such as CVE-2014-6271, CVE-2014-6277, CVE-2014-6278, CVE-2014-7169, CVE-2014-7186, and CVE-2014-7187.
In order to be clear on the downloadable packages, the producer has made available firmware 04.01.00-408 targeted at the My Cloud personal storages, as well as build 1.05.21 compatible with its My Cloud Mirror, EX2, and EX4 devices.
As for the rest of the changes, these new updates include media file name search and media view filtering support in WD My Cloud mobile application. Also, the My Cloud alone gets full factory restore and iTunes-related issues fixed.
Beside these changes, the 1.05.21 firmware also adds support for 32K hybrid page sizes and USB Backup from attached USB ports, and allows turning off Cloud Access in order to disable media transcoding.
Moreover, the device’s dashboard response time gets improved, MTP file transfer performance is enhanced, the FTP download user interface now displays full folder path, and several other changes will be implemented along with the upgrade (the complete Release Notes can be viewed using the button below).
When it comes to installing the update, simply save and unzip the appropriate archive on your desktop, go to Dashboard > Settings > Firmware > Update from File, and browse and select the extracted .bin file.
Now agree with the next dialog windows and allow the My Cloud unit to perform the upgrade. The process should take a few minutes and upon completion the device will automatically reboot.
That being said, from the links below, follow the one that best describes your NAS model, take into account all aforementioned aspects, and enjoy your newly improved device.
