Dates and sources

The maker’s announced end date (November 2018) stays, but the maker published a security fix afterwards (June 2023), so this page doesn’t say fixes have stopped.

Key dates

Release
August 2015 · estimate
How I calculated it: NETGEAR's end-of-service product list (September 2026 file) dates the first shipment of item R8500-100NAS to August 2015 (column 'first_xf_date'). NETGEAR gives no launch date, so the launch month is estimated from it.
Last update
June 29, 2023 · version 1.0.2.160
Note: NETGEAR gives no release date for this firmware. The date is the day NETGEAR first published the security advisory (PSV-2022-0032) that names this version as the fix, so the version was out by then.

Record

  1. as of

    CVEs with no fix for this model: at least 2

    No fix planned for this model, says the maker’s 2026-06 advisory

  2. as of

    Fixes received: estimated 1

    Each fix below rests partly on our inference, not only on the maker's word. By this estimate, the newest firmware we know for this model has them. Not counted in the other numbers on this page.

    Basis: The maker's note names this firmware but not the CVE. The CVE record links the CVE to that note.
