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


replace reboot with
/etc/init.d/cgminer restart
or
/etc/init.d/cgminer stop
/etc/init.d/cgminer start

no need to reboot the device! OMG! A block could be found in that time!!!
