Latitude 5511/5411 Firmware 1.42.0
Anybody got any insight from Dell on where the mystery 1.42.0 firmware for Latitude 5511/5411's is that addresses CVE-2025-33043?
The DSA-2025-237: Security Update for Dell Client Platform for an AMI BIOS Vulnerability | Dell UK page unfortunately directs me to firmware for the Latitude 7310 and 7410 - clearly the links are wrong. If I go direct to the support page for these models, the latest version is still 1.41.0, released 12/01/2026.
We still have around 76 of these models out in the field, so would like to get this firmware hole fixed.

Just got final confirmation on this! BIOS version 1.42.0 is indeed a typo and has been corrected in the DSA article. CVE-2025-33043 was resolved with BIOS version 1.40.0 and it now correctly linking to 1.40.0 as well.

I've reached out to our teams to look into this further. Either the 5411/5511 is not meant to be in this list, or the BIOS update was not rolled out and is incorrectly linked. If I had to guess, somebody probably forgot to role 1.42.0 out and the link is likely just wrong. I'll check back in once I have an update.

@SenorEngineer
Not yet, I'm still waiting to hear back from our DSA team. Its unfortunately going through a middle man process so its a bit delayed on responses.

@DELL-Daniel V thanks for the official update on this.
I should point out that in Microsoft Defender 1.40.0 still lists the CVE, but it no longer shows if updated to 1.41.0.

@SenorEngineer I'll relay that to our teams. Not too sure where the line of communication ends up with Microsoft. In any case, we would typically advise users to update a system to the latest available BIOS anyway, so if it goes away with 1.41.0, then that just may be the easier fix.
