Please note that I'm replying as a pen-tester who uses nmap and not as Cisco spokesman. I believe the Cisco bug mentioned is the one documented in an advisory released this past May titled "IOS Reload after Scanning Vulnerability." The bug affects devices running IOS version 12.1(1.3)T through IOS releases 12.1(2)T and 12.1(3)T. The complete advisory can be found at http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/ios-tcp-scanner-reload-pub.shtml I hope this helps. -- William ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- This list is provided by the SecurityFocus Security Intelligence Alert (SIA) Service.
