While the workaround is fine, what about all those routers and NAS boxes out there that will never get updated? Routers with samba? The NAS boxes - if people make them available on the net, well. Run owncloud or some such on them.

I think that UPnP could possibly exacerbate the problem too. They don't have to be available on the net if a local machine becomes compromised by some other means. The worm would travel through a private network like snails thorough a goose!
