From: "Vincent J. Bono" <vbono () vinny org> Date: Wed, 16 Jul 2003 15:17:54 -0400 Hello All, There seem to be rumors going around that there is a new major Cisco vulnerability but only the major backbones are being given fixes right now.
Not 100% true... Anyone with a Catalyst 4000/5000/6000 can get it - free. See this URL for details. http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/cisco-sa-20030709-swtcp.shtml
Something about packets malformed in a certain manner cause the router to wedge.
True. Regards, Gregory Hicks
Can anyne shed any light on or off list? -vb
