| ===== Download OpenWrt ===== | ===== Project statement about xz 5.6.1 (CVE-2024-3094) ==== |

| {{section>releases:18.06:start#openwrt_1806&firstseconly&noheader&nofooter&readmore&noeditbutton}} | OpenWrt appears to be unaffected by [[https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-3094|CVE-2024-3094]], as the compromised versions of //xz// used were sourced from GitHub releases, which only included a dormant segment of the malicious code. The essential component required to activate the backdoor during the build process was not found in the examined tarball archives. For the details see [[https://lists.openwrt.org/pipermail/openwrt-announce/2024-March/000052.html|email announcement]] or the [[https://forum.openwrt.org/t/project-statement-about-xz-5-6-1-cve-2024-3094/193250|forum post]]. |

| * **Extensibility:** OpenWrt provides many capabilities found only in high-end devices. Its 3000+ application packages are standardized, so you can easily replicate the same setup on any supported device, including two (or even five) year old routers.

| * **Security:** OpenWrt's standard installation is secure by default, with Wi-Fi disabled, no poor passwords or backdoors. OpenWrt's software components are kept up-to-date, so vulnerabilities get closed shortly after they are discovered.

| * **Performance and Stability:** OpenWrt firmware is made of standardized modules used in all supported devices. This means each module will likely receive more testing and bug fixing than stock firmware which can be tweaked for each product line and never touched again.

| * **Research:** Many teams use OpenWrt as a platform for their research into network performance. This means that the improvements of their successful experiments will be available in OpenWrt first, well before it gets incorporated into mainline, vendor firmware.
