RE: taking their revenge @ cisco

["Todd Towles" <toddtowles () brookshires com>]

It have nothing to do with a IOS at all. All the other SQL injection
that happen in the world have nothing to do with Cisco IOS flaws. This
is a pure case of the search function being open to SQL injection.
Therefore it is a design/code problem in one of the three web-app tiers
of the website. 

It most likely have been vunlerable for a while, but now that Cisco
isn't playing nice..people are looking closer at their site.
