Possible fix :

• if it’s listening on the internet: add a firewall rule in the web UI (@domainzero)
• it also seems to work on the LAN side. (issue 35)
• but apparently, not for every body (issue 57) so use the PoC again after adding the rule to make sure the firewall does its job.
• install an open source firmware (for example OpenWRT or Tomato) this is NOT magical, OpenWAG200 is vuln:http://sourceforge.net/projects/openwag200/files/OpenWAG200/1.4/
• kill the backdoor after each reboot (issue 61 & TCP-32764-First-Aid)
• use this alternative firmware: amod (thank you pidocchio and nremond)
• redirect the port traffic in your router firewall to a local unused IP and done ([@osisecurite])
