  • DIR-818Lx Bx firmware v2.05b03_Beta08
  • DIR-822 Cx firmware v3.12b04
  • DIR-822 Bx firmware v2.03b01
  • DIR-823 Ax firmware v1.00b06_Beta
  • DIR-859 Ax firmware v1.06b01_Beta01
  • DIR-865L Ax firmware v1.07.b01
  • DIR-868L Ax firmware v1.12b04
  • DIR-868L Bx firmware v2.05b02
  • DIR-869 Ax firmware v1.03b02_Beta02

The original security vulnerability, filed under CVE-2019-17621 and CVE-2019-20213, the DIR-859 Rev. Ax device firmware may allow a malicious user an unauthenticated, remote command execution on the device's LAN-Side (in-home) connections. Additional related research filed under CVE-2019-20215, CVE-2019-20216, and CVE-2019-20217 reported unauthenticated command execution in the device firmware via the device's ssdpcgi() CGI interpreter.  

 

Many of the models listed in this security-related reports have reached their End of Support (“EOS”) / End of Life (“EOL”) Life-cycle dates. As a general policy, when the product reaches EOS/EOL, it can no longer be supported, and all firmware development for the product ceases, except in certain unique situations. In these EOS/EOL exceptional cases, D-Link was able to provide a Firmware Beta Patch Release after the EOS/EOL Date. Please see the information and recommendations below.

 
D-Link takes the issues of network security and user privacy very seriously. We have a dedicated task force and product management team on call to address evolving security issues and implement appropriate security measures.

Note: Some routers must be updated twice to close this security issue. If you download the fixed firmware, and there are two firmware .BIN files in the ZIP-file, then the two-step update is required. First, update the device from the Device Web-GUI using {Model-Device-Firmware} _middle_STEP_01.bin. Second, update the device from the device from the Web-GUI using {Model-Device-Firmware_STEP_02}.bin.

 

Recommendation for End of Support Life Products

 

 

From time to time, D-Link will decide that some of its products have reached End of Support ("EOS") / End of Life ("EOL"). D-Link may choose to EOS/EOL an effect due to the evolution of technology, market demands, innovations, product efficiencies based on new technologies, or the product matures over time and should be replaced by functionally superior technology.


 

For US Consumer

 

If a product has reached End of Support ("EOS") / End of Life ("EOL"), there is usually no further extended support or development for it. Once a product reaches its EOL/EOS date, all files post regarding the devices are moved to  https://legacy.us.dlink.com/ as the final information archive for the device..

 

Typically for these products, D-Link will not resolve device or firmware issues since all development and customer support have ceased.
