Hi All,
The Security Advisory for VU 582384 has been updated.
Also, for more information see the link below.

Another idea to try to push them on Twitter: LET'S ALL SHOUT AT THEM : @NETGEAR
I just sent this tweet:
netgear Please immediately provide fix to R6400 and R7000 vulnerability! http://www.zdnet.com/article/two-netgear-routers-are-vulnerable-to-trivial-to-remote-hack/ Customers: don't buy until this is fixed!

The "Twitter Campaign" is a good idea. I would encourage readers of this thread that are affected by this problem to post Tweets to @netgear .
