An IOS device with a patch for an SSH vulnerability now has a different SSH vulnerability...

Take a baseball bat and trash all the routers, shout out "IT'S A NETWORK PROBLEM NOW, SUCKERS!" and then peel out of the parking lot in your Ferrari.

Note to others (and maybe deanwebb didn't notice) this is from 2002. Not a new vulnerability needing to be patched. Had me worried for a minute. It is still funny. Hey, we fixed this. Now it just crashes.

Right you are... but it was in this week's Cisco security roundup email, as the crashy thing is new.

I gave up on that automated Cisco email notification service for that exact reason, getting very old information quite frequently.
