Ex6100 Newfirmware Available for security advisory?

Question

Got an email about important firmware updates for secuirty advisory, Acording to this page https://kb.netgear.com/000055196/Security-Advisory-for-Post-Authentication-Stack-Overflow-on-Some-Routers-Gateways-and-Extenders-PSV-2017-0308#

It lists the EX6100, running firmware versions prior to 1.0.2.22 However on the support page only 1.0.2.18 is there to download, also when checking in the extender setup also reports that its up to date. Is there a new firmware not.

Thanks

Hi&nbsp;Tready,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I'm afraid if it could be a typo since latest is v1.0.2.18.

Hi Tready,&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sorry about my old response. I did found beta firmware released for security vulnerability issue. You can download it from https://kb.netgear.com/000054482/EX6100-Firmware-Version-1-0-2-22-Hot-Fix

Thanks for replying. would rather not run a beta software at this stage, do you know how long it normaly takes for it to be a full release, Also how vulenrable is the current firmware should i put on the beta software for the exploits or is somewhat safe at the moment.

Hi&nbsp;Tready,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Beta firmware shouldn't harm the device since it was well tested and posted in site for users. We cannot predict ETA on official firmware for now.
