Security vulnerability in Orbi

I happened to run avast wifi analysis and it found the 2 vulnerability in Orbi Router software listed below.  Can anyone who is more technically minded confirm this?  Orbi is a brand new system it should be patch against security holes that been reported since 2013.

Re: Security vulnerability in Orbi

Neither of these are barn-burners, honestly - one's a possible denial-of-service and the other is a _possible_ privileged exploit, both of which require the attack to come *from the internal network*.  While I agree it's nice to have _all_ vulnerabilities mitigated, that isn't realistic, and these two in particular fall somewhat into the "meh" category of risk.  Yes, they should be fixed, but no, I don't think it likely (or necessary) that Netgear engineering is going to drop whatever it's doing to jump right on this.
