14 DAY TRIAL // Buffalo has made available its new 1.63 firmware version compatible with LS200 network-attached storages, such as LS210D, LS220D, LS220DB, and LS220DE models, which fixes a few vulnerability issues, improves recognition accuracy when connecting USB drives, and more.
Specifically speaking, the present firmware prepares Buffalo’s compatible devices for Samba programming vulnerabilities (CVE-2014-0178 and CVE-2015-0240), and removes the bug that prevented shared folders, users, and groups from being created if their name contained specific symbols.
In addition to that, the producer has also managed to fix the bug that disabled access restriction settings when restarting the LinkStation, as well as the one where a backup job could not be added if the target folder contained full-width spaces in its name.
When it comes to upgrading to this release, if you intend to apply this version, you must save the appropriate package for your NAS model, as the producer provided two downloadable archives: one suitable for Mac OS X 10.6 and later platforms, and the other compatible with Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 operating systems.
Moreover, take into account that, while the installation is in progress, you mustn’t reboot the device or interrupt the process in any way. Doing so can lead to various malfunctions or even render the storage unusable.
That being said, download Buffalo LS200 NAS Series Firmware 1.63, carefully apply it on your network storage, and constantly check our website to be aware when a newer version is available.
