Cannot upgrade R7900 to fix Security Vulnerability: VU#582384.
I get the message that "the upgrade file is incorrect."
Please make sure that you are using the R7900 beta firmware linked to by the Security Advisory
The R7900 uses its own firmware which is different to that used by other devices. It sounds like you may have tried to install firmware for the wrong device.
