Wonder if EKO is working on it too?

Yes I'm certain, he works too hard to leave this exploit active.

It's good to know this is known and taken care of already. Who knows how long some the manufacturers would have taken to address and fix this. Long live Linux, DD-WRT, and OSS. Very Happy

Was there a commitment to post a build today to fix the exploit?

I watched the u-tube video and read the linked articles in the post.

Is your router still vulnerable from the wan side if you do not have any remote access enabled? Doesn't look like it but I'm not sure.

Imho, opening httpd on the WAN interface is a lame mistake considering that SSH is available.

I am more worried about getting hacked from inside my trusted office network.

Agreed. I have never used httpd remotely anyway always sshd. Not to say that ssh couldn't be exploited at some point too. I rarely need to administer remotely as a rule.

This is more than awkward. Please provide a resolution, as this really is the sort of thing that could give DD-WRT a hackjob image.

Not to the download page, and certainly not to the front page. Nip this thing in the bud, guys. Just trying to offer some constructive criticism.

Look again daddio... These are not official releases. PRE-SP2 releases.

That's exactly what I meant. You shouldn't have to dig for them. Personally, I'd patch the v24 SP1 source code, recompile and issue SP1a or something. Not everybody's going to trust a prerelease version.

Reading over this thread, I agree.

The latest advertised downloads need to be updated or patched.

As I type there are probably hundreds of people downloading v24sp1 having no idea of this vulnerability.
