Looks like the problem isn't only limited to Telnet, but that any services running on VTY's (remote access) will be affected after this Telnet bug is exploited. Running SSH would be nice, but it requires a crypto IOS (cost), and isn't compatible on all platforms. While not such a big deal, SSH can chew some CPU cycles especially when interactive with the router, so you need a fairly idle CPU. Any remote access service (Telnet, SSH, RSH, e.t.c), must always be restricted with ACL's, at least.
