Description

This module exploits an anonymous remote code execution vulnerability on D-Link DIR-605L routers. The
vulnerability exists while handling user supplied captcha information, and is due to the
insecure usage of sprintf on the getAuthCode() function. This module has been tested
successfully on D-Link DIR-605L firmware 1.13 (emulated) and firmware 1.12 (real).
