I like this part:

: To the best of our knowledge, starting from December 2010 until the
: time of this document's publication on August 3, 2011, customers were
: never in a position to have their computer compromised by using the
: CDs provided by Cisco.

So they basically know people never actually feed the CD into something
that can read it. :-)

(Though the wording does seem to contradict the previous paragraph, or I
can't wrap my head around it.)
