D-Link Router RCE Alert: Time to Ditch Your Old Tech!
D-Link has issued an alert about a remote code execution vulnerability affecting six discontinued router models. The defect allows attackers to exploit these legacy D-Link routers, which no longer receive updates or support. Users are advised to upgrade to newer models, with a discount available for US customers.
Hot Take:
Once again, it’s the classic case of “your router’s so old, it still remembers dial-up.” D-Link’s discontinued routers are like those expired yogurts at the back of your fridge – probably not a good idea to keep using them, especially when they’re ripe for RCE (Remote Code Execution) attacks. Time to upgrade to new routers before hackers turn your internet experience into a Hitchcock thriller!
Key Points:
- D-Link has issued an alert for a remote code execution vulnerability in six discontinued router models.
- The vulnerability is due to a buffer overflow that can be exploited by remote attackers.
- No patches will be released for these routers as they have reached their End of Life/End of Service Life.
- D-Link suggests replacing the affected routers with newer models and offers discounts for US users.
- The vulnerability was discovered by a security researcher known as ‘delsploit’.
