That's simply not true! The command below will make your IP based network 
completely secure from outside attack. You need to issue this command on 
all IOS based routers. Start at the edges and work your way into the core 
to which you must be connected via some out of band method preferably a 
modem connected to the console port.

core# conf t
core(config)# no ip routing

This will secure your network against this Apache worm for sure!
