3. Enhanced Error Logging & Diagnostics

One of the standout features is the expanded diagnostic log. The driver now captures:

Key updates in v3.2.0.0:

Locate the Driver Installer: Go to the directory where you installed Flashtool (usually C:\Flashtool\drivers). Run the Installer: Open Flashtool-drivers.exe.

• CVE-2022-38975 (mitigated): Potential buffer overflow in serial command parser. v3.2.0.0 adds stack-smashing protection.
• Local privilege escalation (Gordon internal ID G-2023-04): The driver now runs under a restricted NT SERVICE\GordonDrv account instead of LOCAL SYSTEM.
• Encrypted log transmission: If you enable “Remote Diagnostics,” logs are now encrypted with TLS 1.3 before leaving your network.

R/W Errors: If you see "Opening device for R/W" followed by an error, ensure you are using a high-quality USB cable and a USB 2.0 port if possible, as USB 3.0/3.1 ports sometimes cause stability issues with Gordon Gate drivers.  Need Help with Flash Tool on XZ1 Compact : r/SonyXperia
