On: Remote code execution in Asus router firmware

So simply upgrading the firmware now will remove any existing roots or backdoors?

To a point. It's possible to persist a backdoor on these routers beyond a firmware upgrade. If you think you're a big enough target for someone to actually install a backdoor like this on your systems, I'd be happy to take a look.
