Firmware update: Ubiquiti EdgeMAX EdgeRouter 2.0.9 hotfix 7

Ubiquiti Networks has released a seventh hotfix for version 2.0.9 of the firmware for the EdgeMax EdgeRouter. The EdgeRouters are characterized by extensive setting options, but do require some network knowledge to get it running properly. Also, not all settings can be adjusted via the GUI, so you have to use the command line. The release notes for this release note the following changes and improvements:

Improvements

• Require password change on first login.
• Updated UISP Application connector.

Bug fixes

• Updated OpenSSL to fix recently reported CVEs.
• Updated MiniUPnPd to fix a heap overflow vulnerability. (see here for more information)

Known issues

• [DPI] – Sometimes DPI is reporting wrong rx/tx counters.
• [Offloading] – L2TP IPSec traffic is not being offloaded on Mediatek-based routers (ER-X, ER-X-SFP, EP-R6).
• [Offloading] – VLAN traffic is not being offloaded on ER-12.

Additional information

• EdgeRouter firmware can be installed via the CLI, web interface or UISP. Detailed installation instructions are available here.
• The ER-X/ER-X-SFP/ER-10X/EP-R6 has more limited storage, and in some cases, an upgrade may fail due to not enough space.
• If this happens, remove the old backup image first (using delete system image CLI command, see here for more details).
