Security News > 2020 > August > Cisco Patches ‘High-Severity’ Bugs Impacting Switches, Fibre Storage

Cisco Systems disclosed eight high-severity bugs impacting a range of its networking gear, including its switches and fiber storage solutions.

Cisco's NX-OS was hardest hit, with six security alerts tied to the network operating system that underpins the networking giant's Nexus-series Ethernet switches and MDS-series Fibre Channel storage area network switches.

Patches are available for all vulnerabilities, according to a Cisco Security Advisory posted on Wednesday.

In addition to the eight patched high-severity bugs, Cisco also fixed a flaw listed as medium severity that impacts the Cisco Unified Computing System management software.

"PIMs are used between switches so that they can track which multicast packets to forward to each other and to their directly connected LANs," according to Cisco.
