Blanca,
I followed your link and searched for "avast" and no results. I see your responses about where to report security isses. We report issues based on our model numbers. With so many reports of the avast dnsmasq problem, why do you cause customers the frustration of re-posting in another forum?
If the vulnerability will not be addressed, please make a NG statement to the effect. Is it a chip issue being incompatible with a firmware solution? Let us in on the joke, so to speak.
