Ciscoworks and vulnerable IOS software

[jeremy-keen]

Can Ciscoworks (LMS2.6) identify IOS images (versions) that have been reported in security alerts as vulnerable to attacks? If so, can it also advise on suitable patched images?

Thanks in advance,

Jeremy.

Not directly. You can use features like Search Archive and Baseline Templates to search for hints as to whether or not you are vulnerable to certain bugs. However, LMS 3.0 (due out in May '07) will have integration with the Product Security Incident Response Team database, and will provide more accurate reporting on which devices are vulnerable to which advisories.
