Cisco flaw presentation spreads across the Web

FBI Investigation...

New copies of Michael Lynn's presentation on the Cisco router operating
system flaw are springing up faster than the lawyers can take them down

Cisco's lawyers are sending out cease-and-desist notices to Web sites that
have published a controversial presentation by ex-Internet Security Systems
(ISS) employee Michael Lynn that exposes the potential dangers of a flaw in
the network giant's router operating system.The presentation, which was due to
be given by Lynn at the Defcon conference in Las Vegas last week, was
cancelled after legal threats from Cisco and ISS. The parties resolved the
matter on Thursday last week.

i guess they're still reacting to old information. this one is well and truly in 
the public domain, heck.. if you google you can find foreign language 
translations of it 

i've not seen any discussion on the application of the information.. is there 
any working exploit code yet?
