| "I am also at a loss in finding the patched firmware for the DI-784 anywhere on the Dlink site. Please advise where we can obtain it."
The D-Link tech may be implying that the 2.40 firmware dated as of 3/22/06 fixes the vulnerability.

It does in fact list as the first item "Fixed DOS issue".
(They meant "DoS issue", though, if they took this seriously at all, they would have typed out "Denial-of-Service Security Issue" to be a little more clear. However, thats a minimization of the actual vulnerability which is in fact remotely exploitable and allows for complete system takeover, assuming its the same security issue at all that its referring to. Its not like they have provided any specific documentation or details about the problem/patch.)
Surely, you didnt expect him to come right out and tell you which firmware version for which model/revision addresses the issue, did you?
I mean, that would be like, useful support, like, and stuff.
If they were like to do like that, you might like get the idea like that they like take this security stuff like seriously dude.
