NetFlash: Cisco patches Aironet wireless vulnerabilities

Cisco has been busily patching its products lately. On the heels of the major patch of its IOS software, the company is now warning of two issues with its Aironet wireless access point.

Let’s hope these vulnerabilities don’t turn into a trend; I’m having enough trouble keeping up with the Microsoft patches.
