In Response To Mike Lynn's Presentation at Black Hat

Cisco respects and encourages the work of independent research scientists; however, we follow an industry established disclosure process for communicating to our customers and partners.
It is important to note that the information presented at the Black Hat Conference today was not a disclosure of a new vulnerability or a flaw with Cisco IOS software. The research presented explores possible ways to expand exploitations of known security vulnerabilities impacting routers.
As per Cisco's best practices guidelines, we recommend customers upgrade their software to the latest available versions.
Customers should contact their account managers and sales engineers with questions and request for more information.
