Hi,
I need some information about how Security (CVEs) are handled in the Merlin firmware. There is a security advisory from around two weeks ago that ASUS have released to the public saying to patch the routers to the latest version of their original firmware. I have checked the details log for my router and some of them are included in the official ASUSWRT firmware like CVE-2023-28702 and CVE-2023-28702 but when I checked the Merlin's Changelog, I couldn't find them.
l also noticed that the latest official ASUSWRT firmware is a few months old but Merlin's one was released a month after but still doesn't have the above listed CVE's that are included in its official firmware from ASUS. I noticed that some features may vary between ASUS's official firmware and the Merlin's one but the said vulnerable components for example like Netatalk are still used by both but there are no fixes for it on the Merlin's firmware going by the changelog ?
Am I missing something here ?
I will appreciate a helping hand here.
