DC112A Firmware Update or No?

Got an email from Netgear US on October 1, 2018 reporting a new firmware needed for the DC112A "We've Enhanced Your Product's Security Please Update to the Latest Firmware."
It provides a handy link to download the firmware that it really just a redirection to a guide on HOW to update the firmware. However, the webUI reports no new firmware available on any of my 3 DC112As (all on V1.0.0.34_1.0.60). No firmware is available for download on the device support pages either.
The email references "Latest firmware version: v1.0.0.40" but it is nowhere to be found and Netgear has not responded to email.
Any idea where I can find this update? Or a changelog of the update so I can decide if it is worth the effort?

Welcome to NETGEAR Community!
NETGEAR sent out mass email to customer to update the firmware. This is somehow a reminder to ensure to install the latest firmware. If it is already telling that you have the latest firmware then it is fine.

Re: DC112A Firmware Update or No?
Is it really fine if the DC112A is telling that you have the latest firmware (1.0.0.34) when a NETGEAR security advisory indicates that for the DC112a the problem is fixed with firmware 1.0.0.40 ???

Re: DC112A Firmware Update or No?
Thanks for chiming in, I was starting to think I was just misunderstanding the whole communication chain. Support for this product from Netgear has been spotty at best, but this is particularly concerning if they have developed a security patch but the hand that distrubutes it seems to have forgetten their part online and via the webUI.
