Default Cisco patch day closes critical vulnerabilities

From http://h-online.com/-1354156

Quote:
Cisco has published ten security advisories as part of its bi-annual patch day. The advisories resolve a number of security vulnerabilities. The most serious vulnerability (CVSS 10) to have been addressed was in Catalyst switches running the company's iOS network operating system software. A bug in the Smart Install remote maintenance feature allowed remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected switches.

Default More patches from Cisco

From http://h-online.com/-1356415

Quote:
A week after its latest patch day, network equipment manufacturer Cisco has published three additional advisories that discuss and provide patches to close holes in various products. The manufacturer closed five holes in the Firewall Services Module (FWSM) in its 6500 Catalyst switches and 7600 router series. Attackers can use one of the holes to get around the TACACS+ authentication and obtain administrative access to devices. The other four holes can be used to conduct denial-of-service (DOS) attacks.
