FWSM OS version is 3.2(18). This version is vulnerable to Cisco bug ID <A href="http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/search/getBugDetails.do?method=fetchBugDetails&amp;bugId=CSCtl84952" style="word-break: break-all;" target="_blank"><STRONG>CSCtl84952</STRONG></A>.

This would affect other traffic flowing through other contexts.</P><P></P><P>You should schedule an upgrade to the latest 3.2.x maintenance release when possible.</P><P></P><P>Hope that helps.</P><P></P><P>-Mike</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 16 Mar 2011 16:18:31 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/network-security/fwsm-multi-context-and-vulnerabilities/m-p/1606836#M559796 mirober2 2011-03-16T16:18:31Z
