LogoFAIL Vulnerability on Razer Devices

Add my name to this. My laptop is a Razer 14 late 2016 (1060). RZ09-01953E72.I really hope Razer steps up for this. A vulnerability so dangerous as this should not go unpatched. Still, I’m not optimistic.

Bad motherboard firmware on the blade may expose your laptop to malware!

I did the updates last week. All of them went well. I went from top to bottom, and IIRC one of them did nothing because an earlier one had covered it, but otherwise it looked good. About time, but appreciated.

New rubber feet for 2018 Razer Stealth

Good luck. My Blade had both rubber strips come off. After the first one I contacted Razer and was told that they were out of stock at the moment. Many months later I contacted again and got blown off again. I suspect this is a common problem that they are choosing to ignore. The strips have little protrusions on the inside that key to tiny holes in the case, and the front and rear are slightly different. Aside from the adhesive failing, the rubber has elongated so trying to glue down the old strip is difficult to say the least. I confess that I am conflicted as I really like the Blade, and really hate the lack of support.

So they are admitting there is a problem with currently shipping models, but no mention of previous models? This is what is driving me nuts about Razer: I love the hardware but they abandon their products too quickly. I hope I am wrong about it this time... And I agree: no downloading of new bios f/w from anyone but Razer; it's just too risky.

This showed up today on TheRegister.co.uk as well - https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/04/03/razer_laptop_flaw/. It is very serious, as it allows a takeover that is impossible to defeat by even heroic measures - the bios would have to be wiped and rewritten, which this flaw allows malware to block with Boot Guard. In other words, it will never be secure again. Nice. Just don't get infected... As much as I like my 2017 Blade I have serious concerns about Razer's support. They are obviously heavily invested in keeping up with the latest technology with new gear to sell but quickly abandon even the most recent generations. (Consider the non-support for older devices in Synapse v3.) It has been a year since the last update (for Meltdown and Spectre), and that was just 6 months after I bought it. The CEO announced plans to support Linux about the time I bought my Blade - and absolutely nothing has happened since. It's a good thing that there is an active community that is finding solutions
