ASUS releases firmware updates for router security vulnerabilities


  • Staff
Asus has pushed out a firmware update affecting many of its router models, and is urging customers to either apply the update immediately, or to restrict WAS access until they can.

In a statement, the company noted that, “If you choose not to install this new firmware version, we strongly recommend disabling services accessible from the WAN side to avoid potential unwanted intrusions,” which includes remote access from WAN, port forwarding, DDNS, VPN server, DMZ, port trigger.

The firmware update addresses no fewer than nine CVEs, including three from 2023, five from 2022, and one dating back as far as 2018. A number of other vulnerabilities and issues were also fixed as part of the motion.
