D-Link won't be issuing a fix for the 6 impacted models, but is offering 20% off the price of a new router without the issue.

This week D-Link identified six older VPN router models, released in 2011 and 2012, which contain a critical security flaw that could cause them to become infected with malware.

Owners of older models of D-Link VPN routers are being told to retire and replace their devices following the disclosure of a serious remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability.

D-Link is warning customers to replace end-of-life VPN router models after a critical unauthenticated, remote code execution vulnerability was discovered that will not be fixed on these devices.

D-Link reports that six of its older VPN routers are affected by a serious security vulnerability and should be replaced.
