R7000 Vulnerability - When will new firmware be released to address this?

ZD Net is now recommending that we shut down our R7000 routers until Netgear generates a fix to the exploit code that was recently released. As shutting down a router is not a reasonable option I would like to know when Netgear intends to address this issue. It should be now.

Re: R7000 Vulnerability - When will new firmware be released to address this?
You may not neet to shut down your router. Came across this blog describing a simple temporary fix:
www.sj-vs.net/a-temporary-fix-for-cert-vu582384-cwe-77-on-netgear-r7000-and-r6400-routers/
Basically it describes killing the http server process ( using the vulnerability to do so of all things). Rebooting the router will start the http process again.
Hope an update will be available soon. I just bought my R7000 and was rather disapointed to hear this.

Is there already a beta version correcting the vunerability with ARLO support on the R7000?

Arlo support was removed from R7000 firmware a while back now.
You can use an Arlo base station with your cameras. You can even use the new Arlo Pro base station which has a siren.

Re: R7000 Vulnerability - When will new firmware be released to address this?
I invested in a camera arlo without base station because you praised the possibility of using arlo with the R7000.
That you no longer support ARLO for the R7000 is one thing, but you need to fix at least an older firmware supporting ARLO by fixing the vulnerability. I'm not the only one to still use an old firmware compatible ARLO!
