HUGE UPNP VULNERABILITY in lots of consumer networking gear!

The Security company Rapid7 has discovered that the implementation of Universal Plug and Play - a protocol that allows for effortless networking of several types of devices such as game consoles, Digital Video Recorders, IP cameras, media servers, etc. This protocol makes it so the devices do not have to have ports forwarded or a login. However the protocol was designed for local, trusted devices only, however hackers have exploited it for more than a decade.

Please review the lists and the data from the links below to determine if your router is vulnerable.
