Re: Cisco vulnerability on smaller catalyst switches

["Petri Helenius" <pete () he iki fi>]

My testing with the exploit I initially created has no effect on L2 only
catalysts, like 2924XL or so. I haven´t been able to figure out the
right sequence if any to accomplish that. No effect even on the management
interface.
