Any way to see the full firmware release notes?
instead of the basic 1 pager? I see "Security samba update", but I would like more info, like what was updated? Is that available?

The SAMBA folks fixed CVE-2018-10858,CVE-2018-10918,CVE-2018-10919,CVE-2018-1139,CVE-2018-1140 last month. 6.9.4 is running 4.7.0, so I agree that some (hopefully all) of the CVEs must have been backported. https://www.samba.org/samba/history/security.html

SSH in and see if there is info in the changelogs for the samba packages.
I'm not seeing any changelogs for samba (though perhaps they aren't in /usr/shares/docs ???). find // -iname *readme* and find // -iname *change* aren't showing anything.
kohdee, I agree with Blanker-2 that all resolved CVEs should be routinely included in the release notes (and for that matter, listed at https://www.netgear.com/about/security/default.aspx ). It'd be great if you could list the ones fixed in 6.9.4 here.

Can't agree more: Netgear must completely review and change the policy on publishing release notes - thus is not limited to ReadyNAS only.
