Firmware Builds: v1.4.2 Commit 1652ef7

I made some builds of a slightly newer commit of the v1.4.2 branch. The reason was to get an additional security patch, and also to get a few more utilities and networking tools into the build.

These builds can be download through the Transmission BitTorrent client, which uses Distributed Hash Tables (DHT). You have to select File >> Open URL… and then paste in the magnet link.

• libreCMC v1.4.2 commit 1652ef7 GL-AR150 Build
  • magnet:?xt=urn:btih:08fe7a21073a7622c65d52b60877d792cda78ec8&dn=librecmc-v1.4.2-c%5F1652ef7-ar71xx-generic-gl-ar150-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin

I haven’t started the GL-AR300M build yet.

Non-default features:

• Luci + OpenSSL (instead of mbedtls)
• Nano, Vim, and Zile editors
• Default and Material LuCi theme
• openvpn-openssl, openvpn-easy-rsa, luci-app-openvpn
• nmap-ssl, nping, wget (full version) and tcpdump networking utilities

This bumped the image sizes up to 7.6 MB.

The patched vulnerability was CVE 2018-5332.

OpenVPN packages are included because of my OpenVPN projects. I find the nmap, nping, and tcpdump utilities useful when trying to troubleshoot an advanced network configuration issue on the router, such as when I couldn’t figure out why my OpenVPN tunnel didn’t seem to be working.
