For the subject CVE-2017-14491 plus a few more items to address should be 2.78 or higher. Check http://www.thekelleys.org.uk/dnsmasq/CHANGELOG
I am at FW version V1.0.9.32_10.2.34
and I get
"dnsmasq-2.15-OpenDNS-1"
returned from a Windows 10 powershell using nslookup command.
Looked this up on CVE Details and this version of dnsmasq is circa 2005. WTH?
Come on now!
This is embarassing, I see my router is vulnerable too at version 2.15 (R7000). Netgear, what the heck are you guys doing asleep at the wheel here ? I regularly recommend netgear routers to my clients, but i'm going to be stopping until you fix this garbage. It's been MONTHS. Do the right thing and fix this.
