Last week Mike Lynn released information about a hacking Cisco IOS. Is there a patch to protect from this vulnerability?

Just keep your routers patched and you'll be safe. He used a very new technique with an old vulnerability that has already been patched. The biggest issue is that people aren't used to patching their Cisco routers because no one has even been able to prove that shellcode can run on IOS before.
