A triple whammy in Cisco IOS could hit companies who don’t upgrade their router software.

The issue revolves around Denial of Service (DoS) attacks originating from the the processing of malformed protocols - namely IPv6, Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) packets.

A report on the exploits is available at Multiple Denial-of-Service Vulnerabilities in Cisco IOS, and upgrades and workaround paches are available to download.
