Unsecured Servers

Lucian Constantin reports that many embedded servers have a flaw which allows a third party to run software or otherwise take control of the router (and by extension, control network traffic).

I assume that many of the vulnerable routers are in homes where the residents have no clue that the vulnerability exists. I hope that if an ISP provided the router, they would manage router security as well.
