K1 5.3 Samba Security Patch
Has anyone patched their K1 yet (kbox_patch_5.3_64-bit_samba.kbin)? I'm just curious if I need to schedule downtime.

No reboot required, and took less than a minute during off-hours.
Ok call me crazy, but it is there. Just checked again.
In our environment we need to schedule downtime if needed. Since there are no release notes with the patch I was curious. I would assume at least one reboot would need to occur. It is a small patch so it shouldn't take too long. I thought I would ask here before contacting support.

It was not available for me until this morning; certainly not since the 18th. It may be they are only releasing it to certain customers, or that there was an issue with the support site.
It still does not have release notes; they may be rushing it as a security issue. - philologist 12 years ago -
Well do me a favor and run it, and tell me if it causes a reboot? LOL - dugullett 12 years ago

I was not aware the patch had become available yet; the news page still states it is pending.
