Critical Software Update for Kindle E-Readers

• arcticfox 11y ago
  No information from Amazon at all about what this is about or when it was released?

    It seems they're disabling network/official support for older firmware. The latest "required" version is 8 month ago which included some base Kindle feature upgrades, they're likely running two systems side-by-side and wanting to turn one off.

    I've seen speculation that this is related to tls, possibly an upgrade to support tls 1.0 or sha2 keys.

  I actually received a physical postcard about this today (in addition to multiple emails and a notification on the Amazon home page).

  This updates /opt/usr/java/lib/security/cacerts [1]. On Kindles old enough that Amazon has long stopped doing feature or non-critical bug updates, that's all this update updates.
