Multiple D-Link routers have vulnerabilities in their Common Gateway Interface (CGI) that if exploited could result in remote code execution.

The Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute’s CERT/CC reported the CGI codes have two flaws: The /apply_sec.cgi code is exposed to unauthenticated users and the ping_ipaddr argument of the ping_test action fails to properly handle newline characters.

The products affected are the DIR-655, DIR-866L, DIR-652, DHP-1565, DIR-855L, DAP-1533, DIR-862L, DIR-615, DIR-835 and DIR-825.

There is currently no patch, update or workaround available for these problems. Additionally, D-Link no longer supports the affected routers.
