Cisco’s Comedy of Updates: Free Fixes, But No License Laughter
Cisco has released free software updates to address a security vulnerability. If your service contract includes regular updates, snag those security fixes through your usual channels. Remember, these free updates aren’t a golden ticket to new features or major upgrades. Check Cisco’s Security Advisories page for more info on your software upgrade needs.

Hot Take:
Who knew updating your Cisco software could feel like navigating a legal maze? It’s like trying to upgrade your skills in a video game, but instead of a power-up, you get a pop-up saying, “Only if you’ve paid your subscription fee, young padawan.” But hey, at least the updates are free… as long as you have a service contract and a license, and maybe a map to find the right download page!
Key Points:
- Cisco released free software updates addressing a specific vulnerability.
- Updates are accessible through usual channels for customers with service contracts.
- Software downloads require a valid license purchased from Cisco or partners.
- Customers without contracts need to contact Cisco’s Technical Assistance Center (TAC) for upgrades.
- Fixed releases are listed; not all versions are vulnerable.
