Cisco Patches 'Black Hat' IOS Flaw
thursnick writes "eWeek is reporting that Cisco has finally issued a comprehensive fix for a critical IOS vulnerability that set off a firestorm of controversy at the Black Hat Briefings earlier this year. The patches come more than three months after former ISS researcher Michael Lynn quit his job to present the first-ever example of exploit shellcode in Cisco IOS (Internetwork Operating System), a presentation that landed him in legal hot water. Cisco's advisory effectively confirmed Lynn's summer warning that the flaw could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands or cause a denial-of-service on compromised routers."
Awesome, and it's only been how many months?
looks like Cisco is trying to beat Microsoft for patch times
When did geeks become gangsters? WTF dude! Today's secret word is: arcing. For the rest of the day, whenever anybody says the secret word, scream real loud!
Great, Now how long before everyone implements this and all of the other patches that need to be done on the cisco routers. OK the patch is out, but when will they all be patched, probably another 3-6 mo. So this is a hackers last call sort of, if you have not exploited this yet, time is running out, soon. So get in ur haxoring.
To Hell with the Queen of England!
Do I feel bad about abandoning Cisco for Linux and IPTables. I mean, there's nothing quite as fun as upgrading Cisco's IOS. It's right up there with root canals in my book of things I like to experience.
The world's burning. Moped Jesus spotted on I50. Details at 11.
Give me your ip... i'll tell you :)
DON'T STEAL MUSIC!
