ENERGIZER ANNOUNCES DUO CHARGER AND USB
CHARGER SOFTWARE PROBLEM
St. Louis, Missouri, March 8, 2010– Energizer has been informed by the CERT
Coordination Center (CERT) that the Windows software that was referenced and made
available via a download with its Duo Charger, Model CHUSB, contains vulnerability.
Energizer introduced the Duo Charger in the United States and the USB Charger in
Latin America, Europe and Asia in 2007. Both products charge Nickel Metal Hydride
batteries from both a wall outlet and a USB connection. The product included a feature
that would allow the user to view the battery charging status on a computer if associated
software was installed. The Duo Charger product documentation referenced
www.energizer.com/usbcharger
to download the software. The site offered
downloadable software in both Windows and Apple
®
versions; however only the
Windows version contained the vulnerability.
Energizer has discontinued sale of this product and has removed the site to download
the software. In addition, the company is directing consumers that downloaded the
Windows version of the software to uninstall or otherwise remove the software from
your computer. This will eliminate the vulnerability. In addition CERT and Energizer
recommend that users remove a file that may remain after the software has been
removed. The file name is Arucer.dll, which can be found in the Window system32
directory.
 Energizer is currently working with both CERT and U.S. government officials to
understand how the code was inserted in the software. Additional technical information
can be found at
