A day after proof-of-concept exploit code was published for a critical flaw in Cisco Security Manager, Cisco has hurried out a patch.
PoC exploits for the flaw - as well as 11 other issues in Cisco Security Manager - were published online Monday by security researcher Florian Hauser.
The flaw affects Cisco Security Manager releases 4.21 and earlier; the issue is fixed in Cisco Security Manager Release 4.22.
Cisco on Tuesday also disclosed two high-severity vulnerabilities in Cisco Security Manager.
Last week, the networking giant warned of a high-severity flaw in Cisco's IOS XR software that could allow unauthenticated, remote attackers to cripple Cisco Aggregation Services Routers.
