│ Urgency: High
│ Vendor: Logitech
│ Duration: 30 seconds
│ Flags: is-upgrade
│ Description:
│ This release addresses an encrypted keystroke injection vulnerability sent by pointing devices. The vulnerability is complex to replicate and would require a hacker to be physically close to a target.
│
│ A few of Logitech's devices used to send select buttons in an unencrypted way, and in an effort to protect against this vulnerability, Logitech removed the feature. Affected hardware is:
│
│ • Wireless Mouse M335
│ • Zone Touch Mouse T400
│ • Wireless Mouse M545
│ • Wireless Mouse M560
│ • Touch Mouse M600
│ • Touch Mouse T620
│ • Wireless Rechargeable Touchpad T650
│
│ Although Logitech does not recommend it, these features may be re-activated by keeping/downgrading the receiver to an older firmware.

The device works after the update. Anyway I prefer to re-plug USB receiver and to turn off and than on the wireless devices which connects to it. Paired devices were not lost, all works.
