ASUS has released an important notice and firmware update for anyone who has their (affected) routers. They recommend to patch it right away due to a number of issues discovered.
The patch includes a fix for nine security holes, including some severe ones - such as CVE-2022-26376, which is a memory corruption vulnerability, and CVE-2018-1160. The latter is an out-of-bounds write Netatalk flaw that can be leveraged to carry out arbitrary code execution.
The affected models are:
GT6, GT-AXE16000, GT-AX11000 PRO, GT-AX6000, GT-AX11000, GS-AX5400, GS-AX3000, XT9, XT8, XT8 V2, RT-AX86U PRO, RT-AX86U, RT-AX86S, RT-AX82U, RT-AX58U, RT-AX3000, TUF-AX6000, and TUF-AX5400.

Own an ASUS router? Then you might need to patch it right away
Certain models of ASUS routers - a whole bunch of them, in fact - need patching immediately, so don't hang around if you own one of them.
