We received that notice as well (we sell the routers to customers so plenty on 
our network). Updating to latest firmware seems to fix. Most of the routers we 
have sold are Revision B and the latest firmware is 2.11NA.

Could be a part of the bash-exploit botnet that's going around.

(Yes, this could affect home routers as well)

I ran a torch on the IP, and sure enough, a bunch of connections were going out 
on port 1900.

Talked to the customer, and eliminated all their PCs/phones/etc. one by one, at 
which point it was only their Dlink router connected to the net.

Turning it off stopped the outbound traffic.� Just to be sure, we 
re-connected the customer's wired PC, and no traffic.

So at this point, it appears that there was some sort of malware loaded on 
their Dlink.�� It's a DIR-655.

Anyone else seeing this?� Seen it?� Other comments?
