Summary
o A vulnerability in the web UI of Cisco Small Business Switches could allow
an unauthenticated, remote attacker to access sensitive device information.
The vulnerability exists because the software lacks proper authentication

Fixed Software
o Cisco has released free software updates that address the vulnerability
described in this advisory. Customers may only install and expect support

reseller or partner. In most cases this will be a maintenance upgrade to
software that was previously purchased. Free security software updates do
not entitle customers to a new software license, additional software
feature sets, or major revision upgrades.
When considering software upgrades , customers are advised to regularly
consult the advisories for Cisco products, which are available from the
Cisco Security Advisories and Alerts page , to determine exposure and a
complete upgrade solution.
In all cases, customers should ensure that the devices to be upgraded
contain sufficient memory and confirm that current hardware and software
configurations will continue to be supported properly by the new release.
If the information is not clear, customers are advised to contact the Cisco
Technical Assistance Center (TAC) or their contracted maintenance
providers.
