Now they have finally upload the newer cgminer code that fixes the security holes (6 weeks late), but they don't give users any information about how to apply the update!! Does that mean their customers have to wait another 6 weeks to get an answer?
This is a simple and quick fix. The recipe has been posted many times in the forums.
1. SSH into the S3 and login
2. Issue the following commands sequentially.
a) cd /usr/bin
b) mv cgminer cgminer.bak
c) wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.0-140908/cgminer
d) chmod +x cgminer
3. Reboot
For the S3, yes, but not for the S2. Besides, Bitmain should supply the latest cgminer in their firmware as they promised to do over 6 weeks ago - many users don't have the tech know-how to update their miners like this & if they get it wrong, they can brick their units. Releasing it as a firmware update is safer & more user friendly
