I'm not referring to VU 582384 resolved in firmware v1.0.7.6_1.1.99.  I know this is a different issue.

 

I'm just wondering why an admin posts about an open issue seven days after it was supposedly fixed in firmware v1.0.5.70 firmware.  This makes me believe the posted vulnerability was not fixed yet.

It looks like this indicates it was fixed in v1.0.5.70: http://kb.netgear.com/30632/Web-GUI-Password-Recovery-and-Exposure-Security-Vulnerability

 

Please unfreeze and close the original post I referred to since this misleads us (or at least me) that the issue is still an open one.

 

Thanks.
