Aussie security firm find holes in Cisco wireless

"Cisco had to go through the whole Q&A process which was a lot to ask, because the vulnerability affected a number of different products, but Cisco was very responsive," Wise said.

"The main thing was to have patches available on the Cisco site prior to us jointly announcing the vulnerability."

A spokesperson for Cisco Australia said Cisco is not aware of any active exploitation of these vulnerabilities; however it is aware of the vulnerabilities impacting the Cisco Wireless LAN Solution Engine, or WLSE products. The spokesperson said customers should refer to the appropriate Cisco security advisory for additional details, including instructions on obtaining software fixes.
