Title: Re: New Cisco Vulnerability
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.
 
Something about packets malformed in a certain  manner cause the router to wedge.
 
Can anyne shed any light on or off  list?

Rumor has it that more information will be coming soon, but in the interim it's recommend to drop packets destined for the router itself which don't originate from a known source.
