Ummm, sorry if I was misunderstood here. I did NOT want to criticise
any of those (non-Cisco people!) that did offer some advice. Thanks to
you!
I still think that *Cisco* should get their act together now, and quickly
publish an official statement about which configurations are vulnerable
and which ones aren't. Most of the facts are out anyway (check
http://www.securitydatabase.net/forum/viewtopic.php?TopicID=3443).

Cisco did handle it well - up to the point where the CERT advisory came
out, pointing to a Cisco document that does not exist yet.
