-  TODO umdns & relayd +==== Security fixes ==== 
-  * **Linux kernel** updated from 4.9.214 to **4.9.219** and from 4.14.171 to **4.14.176** + 
-  * **Device support fixes** for ZyXEL Keenetic, TP-Link Archer C60 v1/v2, ew-dorin +  [[advisory:2020-05-06-2|Security Advisory 2020-05-06-2 - relayd out-of-bounds reads of heap data and possible buffer overflow (CVE-2020-11752)]] 
-  * **Kernel:** backport out-of-memory fix for non-Ethernet devices+  * [[advisory:2020-05-06-1|Security Advisory 2020-05-06-1 - umdns out-of-bounds reads of heap data and possible buffer overflow (CVE-2020-11750)]] 
 +  * [[changelog-18.06.9#CVE-2020-12762|libjson-c: fix out of bounds write vulnerability (CVE-2020-12762)]] 
 +  * mac80211: backport some fixes for the [[wp>Kr00k|Kr00k vulnerability in WPA]]. It is not clear which wireless driver/firmware combinations could be vulnerable in OpenWrt.  These backported patches harden mac80211 just in case. 
 +  * uci: backport hardening fixes 
 +  * [[changelog-18.06.9#security_fixes|Other security fixes]] 
 + 
 +**Note:** security fixes for packages can also be applied by upgrading only the affected packages on running devices, without the need for a full firmware upgrade.  This can be done with ''opkg update; opkg upgrade the_package_name'' or through the LuCI web interface. 
 + 
 +Nevertheless, we encourage all users to upgrade their devices to OpenWrt 18.06.9 or a newer major release whenever possible. 
 + 
 +==== Bug fixes ==== 
 + 
 +  * **libubox:** Fix regression that could cause procd to fail to start or restart some services. This is especially visible as it broke LuCI when upgrading from older 18.06.X releases ([[flyspray>3177|FS#3177]]) 
 +  * **musl:** fix locking synchronization bug 
 +  * **kernel:** backport out-of-memory fix for non-Ethernet devices 
 +  * **firewall:** fix TCP MSS clamping that was only applied on one direction ([[flyspray>3231|FS#3231]]) 
 + 
 +==== Device support ==== 
 + 
 +  * **brcm63xx:** fix BCM6348/BCM6358 hangs while booting ([[flyspray>2202|FS#2202]]) 
 +  * **ipq40xx:** fix essedma MAC hang by disabling TCP segmentation offload for IPv6 
 +  * **ramips:** fix USB detection on [[toh:start?dataflt%5BSubtarget*~%5D=rt305x&dataflt%5BTarget_target*~%5D=ramips|all rt305x devices]] 
 +  * **Various fixes** for ZyXEL Keenetic, ZyXEL NBG6616, TP-Link Archer C60 v1/v2, GL.iNet GL-AR750S, Embedded Wireless Dorin, Pirelli A226M-FWB, Arduino Yun 
 + 
 +==== Core components update ==== 
 + 
 +  * **Linux kernel** updated from 4.9.214 to **4.9.243** and from 4.14.171 to **4.14.206** 
 +  * **mbedtls** updated from 2.16.4 to **2.16.8**
