Thanks for the answers, all of you
If the router that all your networked appliances are connected to supports NAT

Yes.

whether or not that router forwards DNS packets from the cloud.

Certainly not.

But be serious -- you're not a very big target, are you?

Hehe, no, I'm sure I won't be the specific target of an attack! I'm not sure though that this vulnerability can't be exploited with a non-targeted attack. As natron_ mentioned, someone could theoretically host an exploit on a site and I could be unfortunate enough to hit it.

I'm running SUSE 10, I'll see if there is a patch for this just to be sure but from the sounds of it, I don't have a lot to worry about.
