This issue affects all Cisco devices running Cisco IOS software and configured to process Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) packets. Cisco devices which do not run Cisco IOS software are not affected. Devices which run only Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) are not affected.
OK. So we know that it's an IPv4 packet that is sent to the router, and that's it? Is there any way we can detect hacker attempts to exploit this bug.
If there _is_ an exploit out there, I for one would like to know if they're trying it on. That is without dropping a Cisco router at my front door and waiting for it to get shot! (Which would be a little dropping your daks at a Lorena Bobbit convention, and hoping no-one brought the garden shears with them!).
