What does this mean? What's fixed? Will update this post when we know.

If this has already been reported I'll delete this thread

Did they backport the CDN crap to the Wii U now, too? Lmao.

 

[8BitWonder]

Inb4 switch security was backported and/or current web exploit was patched again.

Security has been backported... OMG the end is near, I'm very afraid of Nintendo now.

Are we safe if we are using the alternative dns?

What are they gonna patch on an effectively-dead system? I mean, it's not like any special shop exists on it.

 

[infinitephantasm]

what exactly has changed? is it impossible to leech off nintendo's CDN now? have any exploits been patched?
(i know we probably don't know that rn, but it'd be nice to know when available)

I deleted the update folder long ago so I should be safe. Wonder if they patched the kernal exploits this time, they didn't last time just the entry point.

They're getting desperate

No, it didn't change anything.

This update likely is only for GDPR compliance. EUR has 6 title updates, USA and JPN only have 3. There are no code changes for USA and JPN at all.

yeah this update seems to be very much uneventful, the changes for US and JP only include new amazon certificates being added, the EU one though got updates to system menu, system settings and user settings, no IOSU update or other kernel updates so things should still work exactly as they did before.
