Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description

Fix
- Mitigation from the vendor CISA ICSA-18-114-01 · 1 productBy default, VGo has automatic updates enabled so all updates are performed automatically when Internet access is available. If the VGo is powered off or in use, a message will appear on the screen asking if it can be updated when the VGo is next used.
- Mitigation from the vendor CISA ICSA-18-114-01 · 1 productIf a VGo unit has automatic updates turned off, the update will not be downloaded (however, a notice about the update will be displayed on the VGo's screen). Vecna recommends that automatic updates be turned on. Select “settings” from the main menu then “advanced settings” then “automatic updates.”
