The CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) has released information on problems associated with small office/home office 
routers using automatic Domain Name System (DNS) registration and autodiscovery. An attacker could exploit these 
problems to obtain sensitive information.

NCCIC encourages users and administrators to review CERT/CC's VU#598349 [ https://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/598349 ] for 
further information and mitigation recommendations.
