Netgear has just released many security updates that address vulnerabilities in a couple of dozen models.
The vulnerabilities have been reported by security researchers Martin Rakhmanov from Trustwave, which conducted a one-year-study on the firmware running on Netgearās box.
Users are recommended to apply the security patches as soon as possible, they can be exploited by hackers to compromise gateways and wireless points.
The expert discovered that 17 different Netgear routers are affected by a remote authentication bypass that could be exploited by a remote attacker to access target networks without having to provide a password.
