Security warnings from LG tv connected to RBR850

I have recently begun to get multiple security warnings from my Netgear Armour software about my tv - a LG C2. The tv is connected by ethernet cable to my RBR850 router. Has anyone else experienced t...

    I have just downloaded the latest version of the LG software (03.30.45) and this seems to have resolved the issue.

Here's a screengrab of the first vulnerabilities. It's definitely 83 different ones.

I purchased an LG 75UN9070AUD three weeks ago from Costco and connected it to my ethernet network RBR850 and the vulnerability check from Armor is showing 320 vulnerabilities! Both firmwares are up to date.

103 Miscellaneous

45 Memory overload 

11 Device Vulnerability

116 Device lock-out Vulnerability 

5 Memory corruption

Did you find any soluution? This one device (TV) brought my vulnerability score for the week down to 59? What should I do? Please let me know if I should be really concerned about this mess!

    That’s a lot of false positives or LG vulnerabilities! If the former then maybe Armor/Bitdefender will be alerted to this and whitelist them or the AI will reconcile this and your score will increase back up. I’d be surprised if LG let a highly vulnerable firmware version out in the wild.

      Thanks Jeff for the response!

      I went ahead and moved the connection over to the guest network and it all got temporarily resolved. I'm sure the LG still has the vulnerabilities but it can no longer see or connect to other devices on the network, so it gives me time to further research what in the heck is going on. I'll keep you updated on what I find out.

        Hi all, 

         

        I recently updated my firmware in the LG TV, so I'm keen to see if there now are fewer vulnerabilities. However, my Armor shows that the last scan of the LG Device was done 61 days ago. Apparently, it's not re-scanning the devices regularly. Does anyone know how I can force a re-scan of the LG television?
