Questions dog Cisco routers
Ellen Messmer and Phil Hochmuth write in NetworkWorld:
Heavy fallout continues on several fronts from a security researcher's recent disclosure that unpatched Cisco routers can be subverted by buffer-overflow attacks and shell-code exploits.
Among the developments last week: Cisco continually revised its security bulletin , adding details as to how versions of unpatched IOS software could be undermined by a "specifically crafted IPv6 packet." Sources at Cisco say testing will continue indefinitely and could include findings related to more than simply IPv6-related exploits.
