For my link archive, to get firmware updates installed on my OKI MC342 printer (Mac update fails, Windows update fails, both with “Firmware update failed.”):
download support printer drivers and software utilities for your OKI printers
Source: MC342dn | Drivers & software | OKI UK | Printers & Managed Print Services
[Oki Data] The Firmware Update Utility is used to upload new firmware files to your printer.
Source: Firmware Update | OKI Global
I needed a firmware update because enabling Google Cloud Printing failed.
Source: Cloud Printing | OKI Europe Ltd – Printers, Printing Solutions and Managed Print Services
The reason was error 10a00013 which according to the Cloud Print Manual is “Connection error to the HTTP server (server authentication error). Access the website stored in the Oki Data device (http://(Oki Data device IP address)), and check the imported CA license. Alternatively, update the firmware.”
As the web page didn’t tell me about how to imported CA licenses, I have to update the firmware.

Be sure to read the comments at USB serial converters from FTDI are quite popular – Thomas Mueller (dummzeuch) – Google+ [WayBack] as it tells more about how to set genuine and fake FTDI chips apart (often before buying them, you cannot tell) and how to replace fake ones buy genuine ones.
Getting back to original means de-soldering fake chips, and soldering new genuine chips on the boards.
Fake chips:
Note that the workarounds for these fake chips mean you cannot use more recent chips.
Fake chips can cause you a lot of headaches – and time – sorting out communication problems: [WayBack] esptool-ck, esp8266, and FTDI Bug Hunting – vilimblog
Two years ago, this shoot-out (with results on github) had a great conclusion:
Buy either an adapter with a genuine FTDI chip, or one of the Silicon Labs CP2102 chips.
The FTDI chip is the only one attaining 3M baud rates.
Overview articles:
SiLabs chips seem to be the only without much trouble:
cp210x device, no matter the chip source:
I haven’t seen or recognized a fake CP210x chip yet, so my guess would be that these are generally fine no matter where you get them. One big advantage of those is the integrated voltage 3.3V regulator, which can save some space when rolling your own boards.
FTDI related:
ft232r_prog, then re-program using sudo ./ft232r_prog --new-pid 0x6001 as per (already archived original is gone) Unbrick FT232 counterfeit chip | Weird-Lab:
$ sudo apt-get install make gcc libftdi-dev
$ wget http://rtr.ca/ft232r/ft232r_prog-1.24.tar.gz
$ tar -zxvf ft232r_prog-1.24.tar.gz
$ cd ft232r_prog-1.24
$ make
$ sudo ./ft232r_prog —old-pid 0x000 —new-pid 0x6001
Genuine FTDI seems to be the easiest to find:
Prolific has similar issues, driver v3.4.25.218 still works with fake chips:

Cool [WayBack] GitHub – oldcompcz/SpaceAssault: DOS space shooter in ASCII. written in pure C using Turbo C.
You can likely compile this using this:
[WayBack] Turbo C++ or C for Windows 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 32/64-bit Full Screen Free Download – CodePlex Archive
The download is actually a small Windows wrapper around Turbo C++ 3.2: github.com/vineetchoudhary/turbocpp/releases.

RDP Wrapper works as a layer between Service Control Manager and Terminal Services, so the original termsrv.dll file remains untouched. Also this method is very strong against Windows Update.
I’ve tested this on Windows 7 Home Premium and it works fine, see the log below. On Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and up, I had to get the rfxvmt.dll files (in %windir%\System32 and %windir%\SysWOW64) from a Windows Professional system, see Known Issues. You can download them from the repository as well.

Ouch (despite one needs authenticated access): [WayBack] Firebird fbudf Module Authenticated Remote Code Execution – Firebird News
Here is the description for CVE-2017-11509
An authenticated remote attacker can execute arbitrary code in Firebird SQL
Server versions 2.5.7 and 3.0.2 by executing a malformed SQL statement. The
only known solution is to disable external UDF libraries from being loaded. In
order to achieve this, the default configuration has changed to UdfAccess=None.
This will prevent the fbudf module from being loaded, but may also break other
functionality relying on modules.Here is the Debian security page with the issue : CVE-2017-11509
The thing I am really not happy about is that the 90 day limit has been overdrawn by about 180 days (see https://www.tenable.com/security/research/tra-2017-36)
