R7000 Vulnerability Note VU#582384

In complete fairness to Netgear, yesterday was the day that CERT released this vulnerability note.  Let's say they did come up with a fix, it would probably a period of testing internally before safely releasing this to the general public, there's nothing worse a company can do to their reputation with users than fix something that breaks something else that was working.

20 years ago I used to be a CERT coordinator for a computer company (we had our own UNIX-based OS) and there's a process from getting the vulnerability, to determining which if any devices are vulnerable, to submitting it to an internal database of issues, to it being prioritized by management and assigned, to the investigation of cause, to the development of a fix, to making sure that fix doesn't negatively affect users, and of course to packaging and distributing the fix.
