[c-nsp] Cisco Security Advisory: Crafted TCP Packet Can CauseDenial of Service

[Paul Stewart]

Hi everyone...

I have read over this and am "fearful" of what I read.. my first thought is
to drop everything, get emergency maintenance window releases and spend a
couple of nights upgrading like crazy... am I wrong?  We haven't had time in
the past 2 months to do IOS upgrades so I'm sure we're vulnerable to this
alert....

In the amount of time it takes to apply some of the workarounds, I could
have our gear upgraded...

Am I over-reacting? ;)

Thanks for any input...

Paul
