Linksys Routers Open To Vulnerability

Many of us in here have a Linksys router providing NAT, wireless access, a firewall, DHCP and other things for our personal LANs and WLANs connected to cable or DSL providers. It seems there is an exploit that can erase your router configurations and monitor information in packets you transmit back and forth.
Unfortunately, Linksys, now a part of Cisco, doesn't have a fix or even an acknowledgment of the two week old exploit. :evil: I am totally stumped. What do I do? Unplug it from the internet and dig out my modem?
