Cisco issues three sets of patches for its routers

Networking industry giant Cisco has announced that they are now making available three patches for their router products.

These patches are to fix bugs which are serious enough to crash their products.

One of the patches is to fix denial of service bugs in the SSH software in Cisco’s Internetwork Operating System. It also fixes a similar bug in their Cisco Service Control Engine.

Another patch is for privilege escalation vulnerability in its Voice Portal automated telephone customer service software.

The company said that the patches are for bugs which were discovered by company engineers internally.

Security experts warn however that hackers might reverse engineer these patches to find out the bugs which can be used against unpatched installations.
