Netgear Vulnerability - Disclosure Notification

Last month I released a couple of 0day Netgear vulnerabilities.  I had been sitting on them for a couple of years.  Anyway, "NWN Security" picked up on the long period between discovery and disclosure.  I have been so busy over the past few years that I literally forgot about these vulnerabilities and just 'shelved' them in a text file.  I was not making all your Netgear routers belong to US (well, technically... UK) during that two year period, I promise.

Anyhow, he wrote a nice blog entry on why these vulnerabilities shouldn't be overlooked and seen as affecting the personal home user only.  It's a nice article he does talk sense.

You can hook up with it here.
