PD. Yep, whoeved decided at LG that reusing for UPLOAD_FIRMAWARE command FLUSH_CACHE comand should be shoot. Twice.
SO it turns out to be a firmware bug after all that. I really hope you guys don't take the heat for this in the court of public opinion.
/. posted a really badly researched post on this (with a bad title too), but it seems public opinion is that hardware shouldn't be vulnerable.
Yes, the comments with enough points to be visible by default are positive wrt mandrake and negative wrt lg hardware problem.
Now, one thing I read in one of those comments is that the fix was to simply remove packet writing capabilities. Is that true? If so I don't think is a good idea do disable a useful functionality for all users due to some defective drives. LG should fix it, not all user be penalized with reduced functionality (those not using an lg drive) or a broken drive.
