SonicWall has provided patches for recent major and minor releases, as shown in the table above. For devices with hotfixes or language specific releases, please follow the instructions above to restrict SonicWall management access (HTTPS/HTTP/SSH) to trusted sources and/or disable management access from untrusted Internet sources, and then coordinate with SonicWall support to select the appropriate patch with hotfix including (DTS) 219154​.

Restrict access to SonicWall management (Best Practice)

SonicWall strongly recommends that administrators limit SonicOS management access to trusted sources, and/or disable management access from untrusted Internet sources, by modifying the existing SonicOS Management access rules (SSH/HTTPS/HTTP Management) to allow management access only from trusted source IP addresses. Please refer to the following knowledge base articles:
•Suggested tips when allowing access to SonicWall web management
•How to restrict Admin access to the device

Plan to update to the latest SonicOS releases (Best Practice):

The weaponization of published vulnerabilities against old software serves as an important reminder that customers should never procrastinate software updates, as they are one of the most important steps you can take to secure your infrastructure against today’s rapidly-evolving threat landscape.

In addition to security fixes, recent major software updates also often include new or enhanced features, or offer better compatibility. They also improve the stability of your software and remove outdated features. All of these updates are aimed at making the user experience better while keeping customers secure.

Secure Upgrade

SonicWall’s newest generation of appliances run the most advanced security software, including Capture Security Services with RTDMI (Real-time Deep Memory Inspection). Relying on legacy security solutions increases the risk of exposure in today’s environment of zero-days and rapidly-evolving threats. SonicWall strongly recommends utilizing “Secure Upgrade”—the customer loyalty offering to replace legacy solutions with the most advanced security technology available. Contact your current SonicWall Partner and local SonicWall Team today to learn more about Secure Upgrade options.
