The router issue is only relevant if you're exploited, and if you're
running a firewall, get exploited on the root level, too. I'd look into
privilege separation software if you're really serious about security,
specifically AppArmor and SELinux, or systrace if you're on *BSD.
(AppArmor is much simpler than SELinux, though SELinux is probably more
powerful. Personally, I like systrace the best.) Just make sure you
update frequently, and you'll probably be good. :-)
