New Cisco Secrity Advisory

[Siliconjunkie]

Those of you that own/support Cisco products should look at this. It appears that by sending a particular packet string they can cause an interface to stop passing traffic.

I'll give this a bump. Seems like a pretty serious flaw.

I hope everyone out there with cisco routers are patching them up.

It was a zoo at work last night, few hundred for the network guys to patch.

Since there is code in the wild now to exploit this.

All the routers used at my work are managed by external ISP's, AT&T, Sprint, etc... We have no absolute guarantee that the patch was completed on them except for them saying it was done. We don't have the passwords.
