Hi All,
The Security Advisory for VU 582384 has been updated.
Also, for more information see the link below.
It would not show up on web interface. The sample just runs the telnet daemon which runs in background as a process. Try running a telnet to the router on the port.

I went back and attempted to connect to the router with a putty telnet session. The connection was refused from both LAN and Internet IP addresses and from both the default ports and port 45. I think at this point I am reasonably convinced that the firmware does not respond to THIS aspect of the exploit, but may be vulnerable to others. I cannot disconnect my router, so I will just practice caution.
