Home and small-office routers from manufacturers including Trendnet and D-Link are vulnerable to attacks that allow attackers anywhere in the world to execute malicious code on the devices, according to an advisory issued over the weekend.

ZDI officials went on to recommend the use of a firewall to block outside connections. Other researchers said that turning off a router's universal plug and play may also prevent exploits.

The more options you stuff into a device, the more problems can arise; and your router is the last thing you want to be vulnerable.
