Major Flaw Found In Cisco IOS Devices

Posted by simoniker on 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."
