Cisco’s Vulnerability Fix: Upgrade Now or Risk Future Tech Turmoil!
Cisco warns that workarounds are like duct tape—temporary fixes. To dodge future tech hiccups, upgrade to the fixed software ASAP. Check the advisory for the most up-to-date info. Spoiler: If you’re on Cisco SD-WAN vEdge Software 20.8 or earlier, you’re in the clear. 20.9 users, aim for 20.9.7!
Hot Take:
Ah, Cisco! The Shakespeare of software updates – “To patch or not to patch, that is the question!” Cisco is once again reminding us that temporary workarounds are like duct tape – they might hold for a bit, but you’re going to need something sturdier before long. So, when Cisco whispers sweet nothings about a fixed software release, you might want to listen closely before your network turns into a cyber pumpkin.
Key Points:
- Cisco considers workarounds temporary patches, not a permanent solution.
- Upgrading to the fixed software release is the only way to fully remediate vulnerabilities.
- Cisco SD-WAN vEdge Software versions 20.9 and earlier need attention.
- Versions 20.8 and earlier, and 20.10 and later, are not vulnerable.
- The Cisco PSIRT team provides validated information on affected software.
