DrayTek, a leading manufacturer of business-class networking solutions, has released firmware update version 1.5.1 for the Vigor 2960 and Vigor 3900 in order to improve Web UI Protection.

IMPORTANT NOTE :
Do not upgrade directly from 1.0.5 (and earlier) to 1.5.1.

Due to differences in the Web UI and functionality the router MUST first be upgraded to at least 1.0.7.1 prior to upgrading to 1.5.1.

Upgrade your router to Version 1.0.7.1 or later first, and afterwards upgrade the router to Version 1.5.1

DrayTek became aware of a possible exploit of the Vigor 2960 / 3900 related to the WebUI and have released an updated firmware to address this issue.

You should upgrade as soon as possible to 1.5.1 firmware or later.

If you have remote access enabled on your router, disable it if you don’t need it, and use an access control list if possible. If you have not updated the firmware yet, disable remote access (admin) and SSL VPN. The ACL does not apply to SSL VPN connections (Port 443) so you should also temporarily disable SSL VPN until you have updated the firmware. In order to protect users, no other information about the issue is being provided at present.

Products Not Requiring Updates for this issue:

The issue only affects the Vigor 2960 / 3900 / 300B and is not known to affect any other DrayTek products.
