KerOS firmware v5.12.0 (November 2025)
Changes from v5.11.0
Release corrections
- Lighten some unnecessary logs which were in verbose mode
- Prevent Basic Station and lorad from restarting each other in loop
Evolutions
- Fix various security vulnerabilities
- CVE-2024-32384
- CVE-2024-39148
- CVE-2024-32388
- Remove LNS credentials from debug logs
- Set temperature limit to 95°C on iBTS before cooldown
- Lower MTU for cellular communications down to 1420
- Extend Network Monitoring to handle new unstabilities experienced on the field
Restrictions
- IPSec is not yet supported
- Some issues with the Wi-Fi interface (instabilities, no fallback…) on Wirnet iFemtoCell
- When upgrading from KerOS firmware 4.x, all trustzone secrets are lost
- When upgrading from KerOS FW 4.3.3, a hardware reset is necessary for FW 5.x burner to correctly detect USB
- Update status for an update from KerOS FW 5.1.x, FW 5.2.x or FW 5.3.x is in error, but the update is working fine
- No more support of GSM dongles (please contact Kerlink if you plan to use one)
- When iZepto-E is powered by a computer, it cannot benefit from the connection of a gateway in router mode
- The activation/deactivation of the GSM from the local web interface takes some time to execute, so previous activation status remains displayed for a while. A page refresh after a delay of 15-20s after the action shows the right status
- TAI clock offset can not be set on iStation with NEO-M9N. Class B does not work.
Firmware
Compatibility
- Compatible with Wirnet™ i-series gateways (Wirnet iBTS, Wirnet iFemtoCell, Wirnet iStation, Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution, Wirnet iZeptoCell Ethernet, Wirnet iZeptoCell Cellular).
Software
