[ADVISORY INFORMATION]

[VULNERABILITY INFORMATION]  
Class: Authentication bypass  
  
[AFFECTED PRODUCTS]  
This security vulnerability affects the following products and firmware  
versions:  
* D-Link DIR-645, firmware version < 1.03  
Other products and firmware versions could also be vulnerable, but they were  
not checked.  
  
[VULNERABILITY DETAILS]  
The web interface of D-Link DIR-645 routers expose several pages accessible  
with no authentication. These pages can be abused to access sensitive  
information concerning the device configuration, including the clear-text  
password for the administrative user. In other words, by exploiting this  
vulnerability unauthenticated remote attackers can retrieve the administrator  
password and then access the device with full privileges.  
  
More in detail, the following HTTP request fetches the administrator password:  
curl -d SERVICES=DEVICE.ACCOUNT http://<device ip>/getcfg.php  
  
For those that are not familiar with "curl" syntax, the above command-line  
requests the "getcfg.php" page, supplying the HTTP POST data  
"SERVICES=DEVICE.ACCOUNT".  
  
The lack of proper authentication checks is not limited to the "getcfg.php" web  
page. As an example, the following requests can also be performed with no  
authentication:  
1. Read system log  
curl http://<device ip>/log_get.php  
  
2. Get DDNS statistics  
curl -d act=getreport http://<device ip>/ddns_act.php  
  
3. Dump device details  
curl http://<device ip>/DevInfo.php  
  
[REMEDIATION]  
D-Link has released an updated firmware version (1.03) that addresses this  
issue. The firmware is already available on D-Link web site, and introduces  
additional restrictions to forbid unauthenticated access to page "getcfg.php".
