Hot Take:

Ah, Cisco, the tech giant who treats their software vulnerabilities like a game of hide and seek. Only this time, they’re not hiding the vulnerabilities, but instead playing catch-up with the fixes. It’s like trying to patch up a sinking ship with duct tape, but hey, who doesn’t love a challenge?

Key Points:

  • Cisco admits that workarounds and mitigations are just temporary fixes.
  • The real solution is to upgrade to the fixed software releases.
  • The advisory lists which Cisco software versions are affected and which are fixed.
  • Cisco PSIRT is on the case, validating affected and fixed releases.
  • Versions earlier than 2.3.7.3-VA and version 3.1 are not vulnerable.
