Attackers probing backdoor flaw in popular Cisco Smart Licensing Utility, warns SANS

Tags:

Organizations running Cisco’s Smart Licensing Utility (CSLU) should update their software as soon as possible to fix two serious vulnerabilities, the SANS Technology Institute has urged.

The CSLU is a tool used primarily in smaller, on-premises and air-gapped networks as a way to manage Cisco licenses without having to resort to the more complex cloud-based Cisco Smart Licensing.

According to a March 19 warning by Dean of Research Johannes Ullrich, SANS has detected “some exploit activity” aimed at the flaws, first made public by Cisco last September.
