I have an R7300DST which i'm guessing without trying the exploit, is probably vulnerable.
Is netgear "working on a fix" or even acknowledging this issue yet?
More importantly, is there i way i can be notified if a new firmware is released? I don't want to have to remember to check once a day.

I know of no way that a Netgear user can be automatically notified of a new software/firmware update. Perhaps someone following this thread can chime in. Thanks.

Confirmed the router is set to auto-update in the early morning hours automatically. Presuming that works as advertised, the important thing is knowing a fix is coming.
