Cisco still seems to be spinning it, though. The important part of Lynn's presentation wasn't the IPv6 exploit, but how future exploits can be used to execute arbitrary code on Cisco equipment. By making a big deal about the "IPv6 exploit" they are in effect trying to reassure people that run IPv4-only networks that this is not a big problem, and that it doesn't effect them.
