Cisco this week patched critical vulnerabilities in its switches, Stealthwatch, and Unity voice messaging system.
Oh, and 'fessed up that it accidentally shipped software that included in-house-developed exploit code for attacking Linux systems via the Dirty COW flaw.
The networking giant also announced it has begun combing its products to identify any that might inherit the Apache Struts vulnerability patched this week. So far, that search hasn't turned up any vulnerable products. If you're in the mood for schadenfreude, this notice doesn't get a CVE number, but reveals Cisco left code to exploit Linux's Dirty COW vulnerability in test scripts it shipped with its TelePresence Video Communication Server software.
