SonicWall confirmed to CrowdStrike that the SMA firmware updates contain the patches advised for SRA devices, and that CVE-2019-7481 affects devices with firmware versions 9....

Opinions on artificial intelligence’s current and future applications, or, worse, consequences, swing drastically between utopian and dystopian.
