Reported Dec 11, 2016
Is this different from the security issue #582384 that is all the rage these days?
Does this affect other Nighthawk routers?
Aloke
PS: I don't own this device.. but I would like to know if it affects my R9000

Re: A new bug in R7000?
I received this from the "Product Security Incident Response Team" on 12/23/2016:
"NETGEAR confirms we received the potential product vulnerability disclosure. Currently we are validating this claim.
The Incident No for this issue is : XXX-XXXX-XXXX. Please use this number in all your communication regarding this disclosure with Netgear."
So, stay tuned folks.. especially those w the R7000. And ask if your router is also affectd (as a lot of the firmwares are based on a common codebase. Unfortunately, it is often an outdated opensource code..)
For reference, the details are at https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/40898/
BTW, I have a R9000
