I'm still on 18. I'll probably switch to 23 sometime.
The device is stable and I'm the only one using it so I didn't feel any pressing rush to deal with the hassle since a lot of "security" issues are often from the inside not the outside.
So I would say don't stress overmuch about it.
- e2le 3y agoUnfortunately there's some RCE vulnerabilities and other nasty bugs between 18 and 23 that can be exploited remotely. I wouldn't feel safe running an unpatched version if it can be helped. https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/security https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-developer/security
- CrLf 3y agoI don't advocate staying on an older version, but that depends on the services you have running. If you don't have any external service, you should be OK. I tend to minimize internal services as well. I don't use OpenWRT as a general purpose server. Still, an LTS release from time to time would be good (the effort would be the same, as there would still be only two maintained releases: the current stable and the LTS).
