    Is there a test available that would allow verification of
    vulnerability on various platforms? I'm thinking of network
    devices like routers, do their telnet servers tend to be based
    on the vulnerable code base?
    
    Having to upgrade hundreds of Cisco routers, for example, would
    be a major nightmare, given that secure implementations of SSH on
    IOS have only recently become available, and the associated 50/50
    chance of breaking things that comes with every IOS upgrade.

    Steffen.
