Any chance this is acquired technology?

On: Cisco Products Have Backdoors

With Cisco's history of buying competitors' technology and rebadging it (Kalpana XDI/CATOS, Crescendo, Aironet, PIX/Finesse OS, Lan2Lan, etc), this sounds like a leftover from one of their acquisitions. Not familiar with either of the 2 affected offerings, which is why I ask.

Makes one wonder if this problem (whatever it may turn out to be) would have happened to the Russian Buran? Shame it never flew production flights.
