Hello,

I do very few work around ethernet, but patches by others did touch
that area. I do not know if that changes above CVEs.

Best thing is you care yourself:
- Test if you can get that scanner and reproduce the vulnerability
- Compile your application against head and recheck for that
vulnerability
- If it still exists:
-- assess if the vulnerabilities may be harmfull for your IOT device
-- put some work into understanding the vulnerability and eventually
fix it.

If you have problems with recompiing against SVN head, let me know and
I will try to help.

Regards
