Major Flaw Found In Cisco IOS Devices

Posted by simoniker on Thursday July 17, @01:52AM
from the uh-oh-spaghettios dept.
Joff_NZ writes "CERT has released an advisory regarding a serious flaw in all Cisco routers and switches which run IOS and process IPv4 packets (i.e. pretty much everything), which causes the device to stop processing inbound packets, and so: 'The device must be rebooted to clear the input queue on the interface, and will not reload without user intervention.' There are apparently no known exploits (yet), and Cisco have this advisory with a workaround and available fixes."

Ah.

Thanks.

Gon · Jul 17, 2003

k-rex, please quote this for data :

nobody (absolutely nobody) gives a shit that you have anyone on ignore, stop posting everytime you see that "someone has posted, but they are on ignore."

Data · Jul 17, 2003

So back to the thread...

I work with Cisco routers and IOS. I don't get what the big deal is.

Edit: Shut up Gon. I know its you. :finger:

As opposed to today's umpteen-millionth Windows Security Flaw (see HardOCP News)? :lol:

I was joking, and looking for a certain pic of Bill Nye the Science Guy that would be appropriate for this thread.
