FS728 Firmware vunerability 5.2.0.39

Hi,

Over 6 months ago, i raised a support case NETGEAR Support Case #26454088, highlighting a security issue with the product, and i am shocked, that still there are no firmware updates available to close this issue.

 

I no longer have access to support ( as netgear closed the case automatically ), but wondered if someone from netgear is able to provide any further insite  on progress  [CVE-2013-4775, CVE-2013-4776]

    Hi supertramp4,

     

    I believe there is already a beta firmware for the Vulnerability CVE-2013-4775 just recently.  You may want to give it a try and it might help.  Since your support warranty has expired, you want to try the NETGEAR Chat Support here and ask for assistance.

      Hi DaneA,

      Yes, I was able to contact support who provided Beta Firmware 5.0.2.44. A Re-scan of our network with our vunerability scanner has confirmed the security problem is resolved.

       

      Thanks again for your assistance
