Router manufacturer D-Link Corp. today admitted that some of its routers have a vulnerability that could allow hackers access to a device's administrative settings. The Taipei, Taiwan-based form said that it has issued patches to fix the flaws.

D-Link and SourceSec differed over which models were vulnerable. SourceSec wrote that it suspected that all D-Link routers made since 2006 with HNAP support were affected, but they said they had not tested all of them.

D-Link said the models affected are the:

• DIR-855 (version A2),
• DIR-655 (versions A1 to A4)
• DIR-635 (version B).

Three discontinued models --

• DIR-615 (versions B1, B2 and B3),
• DIR-635 (version A) and
• DI-634M (version B1)

-- are also affected.

The company said new firmware updates are being made available across its Web sites.
