Legion GO BIOS version N3CN38WW
The summary of changes on Legion Go’s website is rather basic. It doesn’t go into the details of what each of the patches affects, but here’s an overview of what each of those entails.
All of these range from medium severity scores to not yet rated, meaning it’s still worthy of patching out to keep the security as up to date as possible for the handheld. Although the latter half of these are from the previous month, the initial lot also ranges from the first half of 2023, so it’s about time they came to a close for the Legion Go.
The newer lot looks to target the Insyde Kernels and reduce the probability of a buffer overread through various means. Others look to target vulnerabilities that can cause memory corruption or initiate OS commands on the device.
