PSIRT ADVISORY
IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PLEASE READ!
FPGA and BIOS have been signed and updated to new versions.
For the 15.9 Release Train, this image (15.9-3.M) is considered as the baseline. Downgrade is STRICTLY UNSUPPORTED and bundle install to previous releases (158-3.M2/157-3.M4/156-3.M6) and below will cause an error and fail if attempted. Any manual downgrade [non bundle operations] will impair router functionality thereafter.
Note : After upgrading to this release, make sure to delete any old image files that may still be in flash:. This will prevent an unintended IOS downgrade.
For additional information on the PSIRT see the following:

Warning about Installing the Image
Note : The bundle can be copied via Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) or SCP to the device, and then installed using the bundle install flash: <image name> command. The bin file can NOT be directly booted using the boot system flash:/image_name.
Caution : MANUAL [non-bundle] DOWNGRADE IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Known Limitations
This release has the following limitations or deviations from expected behavior:
■Please ensure there is a minimum 30MB additional space in the flash: file system before attempting an upgrade or downgrade between releases. Otherwise, the FPGA/BIOS will not have enough space to store files and perform the upgrade. In these current releases, the bundle installation will not display a warning, but future releases from September 2019 going forward will have a warning.
■ SSH access to GuestOS disabled:
From 15.9(3)M1, access to GuestOS through SSH is completely disabled to address vulnerabilities in IOS - GuestOS communication.
However, to access GuestOS, reverse telnet to the GuestOS shell with this command:
■ Note : Only privilege 15 user will be able to do reverse telnet to GuestOS.

Resolved Caveats
CGR1240 TAM/ACT2 Write Object Corruption (WPAN and IOS GTK keys mismatch).
Summary : GTK Keys of CG-Mesh PAN present in IOS not matching with the keys present in WPAN module locally as per the IOS CLI command & show WPAN commands.
The keys entry is blank (0's) for WPAN command CLI output. This issue is rarely observed.
CGR1240 WPAN interface missing after a power outage.
Summary : WPAN interface will not be created and is not seen in show running config. This is a random issue and observed very rarely.
