Overview  

 

The DIR-300, Ax/Bx/Cx/Dx hardware revisions, have reached their End of Life ("EOL") /End of Service Life ("EOS") Life-Cycle.  D-Link US recommends D-Link devices that have reached EOL/EOS, to be retired and replaced. Please contact your regional office for recommendations (LINK). 

 

As a  general policy, when products reach EOS/EOL, they can no longer be supported, and all firmware development for these products cease.  Please read information and recommendations below.
 

Report information

 

CVE-2013-10050 : Link : DIR-300 rev A firmware (v1.05) An OS command injection vulnerability via the authenticated tools_vct.xgi CGI endpoint. The web interface fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input in the pingIp parameter, allowing attackers with valid credentials to inject arbitrary shell commands. Exploitation enables full device compromise, including spawning a telnet daemon and establishing a root shell.

 

CVE-2013-10048 : LinkDIR-300 rev Bx firmware  ≤ 2.13 An OS command injection vulnerability due to improper input handling in the unauthenticated command.php endpoint. By sending specially crafted POST requests, a remote attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands with root privileges, allowing full takeover of the device.

Recommendation for End of Support /End of 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 a product due to the evolution of technology, market demands, new innovations, product efficiencies based on the latest technologies, or the product's maturity over time, which necessitates replacement with 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.

 

Typically for these products, D-Link will be unable to resolve device or firmware issues since all development and customer support has ceased. 

 

D-Link strongly recommends that this product be retired and cautions that any further use of this product may be a risk to devices connected to it. If US consumers continue to use these devices against D-Link's recommendation, please ensure the device has the most recent firmware, update its unique password frequently to access its web-configuration, and always enable WIFI encryption with a unique password.
