New vulnerability discovered affecting Netgear routers

I have an N900 WNDR4500v2 Router running the most current version of firmware. Is it vulnerable to the cracks announced last week (approx. Dec. 8-9)? Thanks, NPC

    It's not listed as one of the known affected systems.

     

    NETGEAR is aware of the security issue #582384 affecting R6250, R6400, R6700, R7000, R7100LG, R7300, R7900, R8000 routers. Stay updated here: http://kb.netgear.com/000036386/CVE-2016-582384

     

    We now have beta firmware containing fixes for some affected models.

    We're working hard on fixes for the other affected models and will update the security ticket above soon.



    There's any easy check to see if you're affected which involves checking what you see when visiting a URL on your router.
