"Security mavens have uncovered a design flaw in most home routers that
allows attackers to remotely control the devices by luring an attached
computer to a booby-trapped website."
....

"The weakness, which works using the navigatetoURL function and URLRequest
object specified in Flash, isn't a security flaw within Flash, the
researches say. Rather they are design flaws in UPnP, which doesn't use
authentication."

So turn off the uPNP feature of your routers...
