An anonymous reader writes "D-Link has released firmware patches for a number of its older routers sporting a critical authentication security bypass vulnerability discovered in October. The flaw was discovered and its exploitability proved with a PoC by Tactical Network Solutions' security researcher Craig Heffner. D-Link confirmed the existence of the problem a few weeks later."

Good guy D-Link!!!! It's nice to see a manufacturer actually helping out their customers instead of just making them buy a new router.
