Qualcomm WCN6856 Firmware Security Updates | Razer Insider
Skip to main content

Considering the purchase of a Razer Bade 14 (2022), i am worried about the Qualcomm WCN6856 WiFi card. Three critical firmware security vulnerabilities have become public in the last six month, according to the security bulletins by Qualcomm (1,2,3). Multiple vulnerabilities of level “high” are also mentioned. Qualcomm does not offer firmware and/or driver downloads for consumers, instead distributing the security patches only to device manufacturers (4).

I could not find definitive information about wlan firmware updates for Razer devices.
So my question is:

How are security patches distributed for the firmware of the WCN6856 used in the Razor Blade laptops?
