Barracuda Borks Firewalls with Automatic Update
-
Firewall maker Barracuda accidentally pushed out an update that caused corporate firewalls to crash. They are working on a fix but it will be manual and is not yet available. Whoops

And this is why you use merge requests for production deployment.

That's ridiculous. Anyone heard if a fix is available yet? This is a lot of downtime. Anyone with this issue would have had to have replaced their firewall by now.

If I were a Barracuda customer, I would be looking for a new vendor, even after the fix was available!
That's just unacceptable.

If it were me, an IPTables firewall/router is easy enough for emergency deployments.

Lots of things are. Even a Cisco ASA is easy to toss in quickly.

lol I was thinking the same - most can probably afford to just keep this on the shelf in case of an issue.
