Cisco recently patched the high-severity flaw, which could allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to launch DoS attacks against its popular small business switches.

Cisco is warning of a high-severity flaw that could allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to cripple several of its popular small-business switches with denial of service attacks.

It's not the first time that end of life has stopped Cisco from issuing patches for these specific switches when they were vulnerable.

In July, Cisco warned that it wasn't issuing firmware updates in the three switches to address a high-severity flaw that could allow remote, unauthenticated attackers to access the switches' management interfaces with administrative privileges.

A final flaw plugged by Cisco on Wednesday exists in the AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows, Cisco's unified security endpoint agent that delivers security services to protect the enterprise.
