From Security Week:
Vulnerability in Realtek SDK Exposes Routers to Attacks
Routers from D-Link, TRENDnet and likely other vendors are vulnerable to remote code execution attacks due to a flaw in a component of the Realtek software development kit (SDK).
The issue was discovered by Ricky Lawshae, DVLabs security researcher and content developer at HP Enterprise Security. The expert reported his findings to HP’s Zero-Day Initiative (ZDI) in August 2014. Since Realtek hasn’t responded to any of ZDI’s attempts to report the vulnerability, the existence of the zero-day has been disclosed.
The purpose of this blog is to help small-medium businesses (SMB's) deal effectively with their unique cyber security needs. With over 15 years experience in IT and cyber security I will show SMB's how they can leverage their limited resources to develop effective cyber defenses to the most common threats using information security best practices and no/low cost tools.
