Original release date: October 18, 2013

US-CERT is aware of reports that the firmware for various D-Link routers contains a backdoor that allows 
unauthenticated remote users to bypass the routers' password authentication mechanism. An unauthenticated remote 
attacker can take any action as an administrator using the remote management web server.

D-Link is maintaining a page [ http://www.dlink.com/be/fr/support/security ] to inform users of this issue and provide 
updates as patches are released.

For more information, please see Vulnerability Note VU#248083 [ http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/248083 ].
