Router maker Netgear has posted an advisory that users of a pair of their routers should update the firmware of their routers ASAP to mitigate two flaws. The first one goes something like this:
NETGEAR has released fixes for a stored cross site scripting security vulnerability on the following product models:
- XR1000 fixed in firmware version 1.0.0.72
NETGEAR strongly recommends that you download the latest firmware as soon as possible.
And the second one goes something like this:
NETGEAR has released fixes for an authentication bypass security vulnerability on the following product models:
- CAX30 fixed in firmware version 2.2.2.2
NETGEAR strongly recommends that you download the latest firmware as soon as possible.
What’s interesting is that both of these documents also say this:
NETGEAR is not responsible for any consequences that could have been avoided by following the recommendations in this notification.
That says to me that these vulnerabilities are serious, and are likely being exploited. Thus if you have either of these routers, it’s time to update them.
