Just loaded R6300v2-V1.0.4.38_10.0.93_BETA Firmware on all three of my

Yes...I am concerned about the KR00K Wifi Vulnerability.
It's my understanding this router is still supported.
Third party options are not good for this router (WiFi is not reliable and connects at lower speeds)...
I hope that Netgear will put out a patch for the KR00K wifi vulnerability for this router.
Like I said I own three of them.
