A new vulnerability in Liunx has been found related to the bash command interpreter. If your Zee is behind a firewall, we do not see any way you could be affected by this. The Apache web server is affected, but the Zee is not running Apache, the HomeSeer web server is our own.
Any Zee purchased from us after 9/29/14 will already be up to date.
