As an interesting crypto research item, it's actually very good work. However, for those of us in the trenches, it's mostly a non-issue, actually - see Dan Kaminsky's analysis of the actual situation: http://dankaminsky.com/2012/02/17/primalfear/ Bottom line: The bug allows you to MITM the same embedded webservers in routers and wireless boxes that you were *already* able to easily MITM because the devices used self-signed certs and other crappy key management issues.
