RE: Patching for Cisco vulnerability

I don't see a lot of choice with this exploit. It's easy and quick. I knocked down a 7206 in less than a minute. Expedite where you can.

Given typical change management procedures how long is taking you to get clearance to apply the patch? I'm trying here to gauge the length of time before this vulnerability is closed out. irwin
