Cisco Comes Clean on Extent of IOS Flaw
Ryan Naraine writes in eWeek:
Cisco Systems Inc. on Friday confirmed that a security hole in its Internetwork Operating System could be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code.
The routing and switching giant's confirmation comes just days after details on the extent of the flaw were released at the Black Hat Briefings here by former Internet Security Systems Inc. researcher Michael Lynn.
Lynn's dramatic presentation caused quite a stir and prompted Cisco and ISS to file an injunction and temporary restraining order to block the further dissemination of information on the IOS flaw.
