NETGEAR is aware of this vulnerability. Our initial findings confirm this vulnerability does not appear to affect NETGEAR products or services. However, we are continuing to investigate any possible risks. If any products or services are found to be vulnerable we will post an update on our NETGEAR Product Security page.
Though as schumaku says, you generally don't need RAIDar. It does have some diagnostic capabilities, but if the NAS is working ok you don't need it. So you could live without it for a while.
