Thanks alot for Sharing the information Mick

Here's the official KB on how to obtain the latest release of LUA, by the way.....
With thanks and best regards,
Mick
Please excuse any ignorance, but we still have an older SAV 10.x environement and in it we use the LiveUpdate Administration Utlity (LUAU). Is this the same product as the vulnerable version, or is there a difference between the LiveUpdate Administrator (LUA) and the LiveUpdate Administration Utlity (LUAU)?
Rest easy - LUAU 1.x has completely different technology under the hood. It is not affected by this vulnerability.
On a related note, I do encourage all admins with SAV 10 clients in their network to upgrade to SEP as soon as possible. On 4 July 2012, SAV 10.1 will reach its end.
With thanks and best regards,
Mick
Thank you! And as for 10.1, we're almost done migrating off, less than 10% of our devices left. Thanks for the heads up on the EOL though!
So is this the latest version ?
where is the upgrade instruction step by steps please ?

Hi Dushan,
LUA 2.3.1 is currently the most up-to-date release. Subscribe to either of the following articles to be notified when a new version comes out:
LUA 2.3.1 will install right over the older LUA 2.3.0 or LUA 2.2.2.9.
With thanks and best regards,
Mick
Many thanks Mick for the reply, I'll perform inline upgrade with my current production LUA now.
Is there any caveats or backup before I'm doing the upgrade ?
