D-Link fixes serious security flaws that could have left your business wide open to attack

D-Link has released patches for two critical vulnerabilities found in its network management suite which could allow threat actors to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary code, remotely. 

The company fixed two flaws found in D-View, its network management suite that various businesses use for general network management and administration.

The flaws were discovered late last year by security researchers taking part in Trend Micro’s Zero Day Initiative (ZDI). During the event, researchers found multiple vulnerabilities, with two standing out: CVE-2023-32165, and CVE-2023-32169. The former is a remote code execution flaw, which could be used to run malicious code with SYSTEM privileges. The latter, on the other hand, is an authentication bypass vulnerability that allows for the escalation of privilege, unauthorized access of information, and in some cases, installation of malware. 

Beta patch

Both flaws carry a severity score of 9.8 (critical). The issue affects D-View 8 version 2.9.1.27 and older. D-Link released the patch roughly two weeks ago, and is now urging users to apply it as soon as possible.

"As soon as D-Link was made aware of the reported security issues, we had promptly started our investigation and began developing security patches," the company said in a security advisory. The vendor also warned users that the patch is actually “beta software or hot-fix release”, meaning additional changes might occur in the future. It also means that the D-View might be unstable, or crash, after the introduction of the patch. 

The vendor also told users to verify the hardware revision of their endpoints, by inspecting the underside label or the web configuration panel, so that they don’t download the wrong firmware update. 

The full list of the discovered vulnerabilities is as follows:

Garmin's new radar-equipped tail light will keep you safe on your e-bike

Garmin's Varia bike radars are some of the most popular pieces of cycling tech around – and now the company has delivered its first rearview radar to have been specially designed for some of the best e-Bikes .   Garmin's Varia range mounts to the back of your bike and broadcasts a radar signal behind you, so you can get visual and audible alerts when something's overtaking you. Even better, the new Varia eRTL615 plugs directly into most e-bikes, with no battery required. Because the catchily-named Varia eRTL615 is also a tail light, it'll also make sure you're visible to other vehicles too, promising to emit a flashing or solid light that's visible from up to a mile away in daylight. To connect Garmin's new radar tail light to your e-bike, you'll need to pick the right Garmin adapter cable (which isn't included). You can buy power cables compatible with Bosch, Shimano, or USB-A terminals or connections, with more info on those available on Garmin...

Hackers steal passwords, emails from hookup websites

Two gay hookup websites have been breached with sensitive and personal user data stolen and sold online, new reports have claimed. The databases, which are now being sold on dark web forums, were taken from platforms called TruckerSucker, and CityJerks. They contain enough personally identifiable information to engage in identity theft , such as usernames and passwords, email addresses, profile pictures, sexual preferences, birth dates, postal addresses, IP addresses, and bios. The passwords are encrypted, but according to TechCrunch, the algorithm is “weak” and could be broken by a more persistent hacker. The silent treatment HaveIBeenPwned founder Troy Hunt, who was tipped off on the leak, described the incident as a “typical forum breach, albeit with super sensitive content.”  However the content includes more than just identity data, as there are also messages users exchanged, including arranging meetings and describing their sexual preferences.  In total, more than...
