So glad my RT-AC86U kept having serious issues with the 2.4 GHz radio such that nothing would stay connected to the internet without 5 GHz support so I eventually trashed the damn thing after every solution failed.

Absolutely. Like why in the world would the article have a list of features included in each model of router?

Curious to know if this affects the DD-WRT style firmware as well?

Nah, those get their own, unique set of security issues, discovered or otherwise. Hint: every firmware does.

According to the CVE it looks like my XT8 is already updated beyond the affected version. It says through version 3.0.0.4.388_24609 and mine is version 3.0.0.4.388_24621.

I also noticed this vulnerability was posted on May 29th with the last update being June 13th. Seems like this a report that’s already outdated.
