What to do
No fix will be released: D-Link DIR-600 is end of life. Replace it, or isolate it from untrusted networks until you can.
AI-suggested
Since the D-Link DIR-600 affected versions are no longer supported and no official patches exist, organizations should prioritize replacing these devices with supported hardware running updated firmware. In the interim, network-level mitigations include: 1) Restricting access to the router’s management interface by implementing firewall rules that block inbound HTTP/HTTPS requests from untrusted networks; 2) Employing network segmentation to isolate legacy devices from critical infrastructure and sensitive data environments; 3) Deploying intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) to detect and block exploit attempts targeting the hedwig.cgi endpoint or anomalous Cookie header manipulations; 4) Monitoring network traffic for unusual HTTP header patterns indicative of exploitation attempts; 5) Disabling remote management features if not required; 6) Enforcing strict access controls and network authentication to reduce exposure; and 7) Conducting regular network scans to identify legacy devices still in use. Additionally, educating IT staff about the risks of unsupported devices and the importance of timely hardware lifecycle management is critical.
Description
A vulnerability was found in D-Link DIR-600 up to 2.15WWb02. Affected by this vulnerability is an unknown functionality of the file hedwig.cgi of the component HTTP Header Handler. The manipulation of the argument Cookie results in stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
