The hope was by verifying it worked and posting it here, one of the many people more intelligent than me on this mailing list could look at it and determine what about this patch fixes the issue and confirm it is safe. The only thing I found when scanning the files was a Windows warning about not recognizing WinIAP_X64.exe, but that isn't unusual. I'll attach the zip file here so maybe someone can look at it without dealing with the shady free file hosting site. But I agree with you - I wouldn't suggest anyone else install the firmware without someone analyzing the files first.
