The text you sent seems to primarily focus on infrastructure routers -- those used at ISPs, peering points, etc. Home routers are a different breed, but suffer the same or more problems. Aside from the example Chris gave, here's another good one from earlier this year: http://securityevaluators.com/content/case-studies/routers/soho_service_hacks.jsp But it doesn't matter if the vendors issue a patch, people actually have to install the update to fix it, and odds are high that typical end users have no idea that is even possible or something they have to do.
