where is the security advisory? Specifically DSA-2025-005

My firmware was just updated - the Dell support page says "This release contains security updates as disclosed in the Dell Security Advisory DSA-2025-005. For more information, see Dell Security Advisories and Notices." So I go to that page (https://www.dell.com/support/security/en-us) and search for "DSA-2025-005" and there is NO information. (I also searched "DSA-2025-025" and it pops up with that advisory so I know the search SHOULD work.) Then I tried general search engines with no luck.

Can anyone point me to Dell Security Advisory DSA-2025-005? Thank you in advance.

This is related to Windows 11 so stick with Windows update and Dell Support Assistant

Hi, just upgraded my firmware System BIOS. Everything goes well, but it won't pop out a window to show me the BIOS upgraded successfully after restart windows like before. I tried again and again. Found the BiosConnect Wireless drivers can not upgrde from 2.23.0 to 2.42.1.

Everything is fine to use, just a little awkward. Does anyone met this? why? How to fix it?

Thanks a lot~

@HedgeFundManager​ Thank you for the reply. Can you please tell me how you know this is related to W11?  Have you found the Dell Security Advisory DSA-2025-005?

 I just searched for the advisory and it is now available. It says it was published 1/8/25 & updated 1/16/25 so I have no idea why the same search on 1/17/25 came up with nothing. (Thanks, Dell, this is just one of the reasons I am no longer a fan! Of my twelve current machines only seven are Dell, 15 years ago I was ALL Dell)

BTW it was windows update that found & installed the BIOS update on my

W10 IoT Ent LTSC V21H2 Dell Optiplex 7020 machine. I had two 7020's but the other one died. And I always do clean installs of the OS using Windows 10 Decrapifier. Then I image and install the Dell Support Assistant and record the drivers it installs. Then I rollback to my image (now without DSA) and manually install the drivers.

@DougMacHi​ Correction - this BIOS update was installed on my Dell Precision 7520 laptop, same OS, same procedure. And, curious, I just noticed I can view the Firmware version in Device Manager on the laptop but there is no firmware listed in Device Manager on the Optiplex 7020

@HedgeFundManager​ Such like:

  • Dell, Inc. - Firmware - 0.1.18.2
  • Dell, Inc. - Firmware - 0.1.17.0
    In windows update history.

@HedgeFundManager​ This isn't really answering the question. I'm seeing the same issue. When searching for the Security Advisories DSA-XXXX-XXX it is no where to be found. If DELL is going to go this route then they need to do a better job of listing all DSA's. I did sign up for the emails but some are not even showing up inside the DSA lookup.

No Events found!
