vWLC - 8.2.166.0

[KM2018]

Hi All,

We are running a very old vwlc  version 8.2.166.0 in our office, planning to upgrade to cisco recommended one.

I need to verify existing versions of vWLC and Access Points  and make sure no high or critical vulnerabilities remain in existing version. 

# Could someone please assist me how do I check the vulnerabilities in both vWLC and AP ?

is there any link to check the bug of AP and vWLC using their IOS version or hardware ?

I tried using below link but no luck.

Hi,

    What you're looking fo it doesn't exist :) The fact that a major vulnerability does not show up now, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, it may show up tomorrow and you'll not be aware anyways. All software has bugs. What i would do is the following:

       - if you don't need specific features, don't go to the latest release, but go for one which is stable, which means it runs with fewer issues and fewer bugs, and this one is 8.5.161; see upgrade procedure:

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wireless-lan-wlan/68835-wlc-upgrade.html

       - next, see if the AP's you have are supported by this version, as otherwise you may need to stick with a lower version: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/compatibility/matrix/compatibility-matrix.html

       - use WLC Config Analyzer to ensure your configuration is optimum and secure:
