Cisco patched several vulnerabilities this week that affect multiple models of its small business switches and could allow attackers to take full control of the devices remotely. The flaws are all located in the web-based management interface of the devices and can be exploited without authentication. While the company didn’t disclose which specific components of the web interface the flaws are located in, it noted in its advisory that the vulnerabilities are not dependent on one another and can be exploited independently.
