Hi All,
The Security Advisory for VU 582384 has been updated.
Also, for more information see the link below.
I have no expertise on the matter but the "fix" suggested by the ones who does (not using the router) give me an idea about how serious and potentially dangerous this is for home and business customers. Since vulnerabilities are impossible to prevent, trust in a tech company is built upon how it face them. No acknowledgement, reassurance, advise, temporary fix or any kind or word for that matter is a bad PR practice IMHO. This products appeal to the informed user (power user, professional etc..). That portion of the market composed of customers willing to spend an extra for performance and reliability. That is why I think Netgear is working hard on this. If they'd offer no fix I think most of us would stay away from their products in the near future and we would be right In the meantime, thank you very much for this temporary fix: http://www.sj-vs.net/a-temporary-fix-for-cert-vu582384-cwe-77-on-netgear-r7000-and-r6400-routers/comment-page-1/#comment-180
This is an insane vunerability that is super easy to exploit. It doesn't even require the user to be logged in. I demand to know when this is going to be fixed.
yeah, they could at least acknowledge the issue.
