Ciscoworks LMS 4.0 End of Life Announced

Fri, 2011-08-12 07:52

Cisco has put the kibosh on Cisco Works LMS 4.0! In a recent End of Life announcement, the dates for it's final life span have been laid out. That's right, the age old product that sales managers insist on bundling with everything they sell is now going by the wayside. And for most of you out there you are probably sighing in relief. But don't get too comfy with the thought of Cisco Works' demise, it really isn't going away.

Cisco Prime is the latest and greatest network management software package coming from the bowels of Cisco's application development group. In all reality it just looks like they renamed the product from Cisco Works to Cisco Prime and slapped a new GUI on it. Maybe we won't notice? (keep crossing your fingers Cisco). That's sort of the truth, but I've got an inside scoop, so keep reading if you want to know more.

Cisco Works Vulnerability

Mon, 2010-11-01 06:51

Cisco released a security advisory late last week announcing a vulnerability in their management software, Cisco Works Common Services. Common Services is the core Cisco Works application that takes care of the common database and other data that is shared between all of the Cisco Works applications.  If you are running a relatively recent installation of any Cisco Works installation, including Cisco Security Manager (CSM), Telepresence Manager, or QoS Policy Manager (QPM),  you most likely have a vulnerable version running. 

Here's a synopsis of the vulnerability, take a quick look at your version to see if you are at risk: 

Versions affected: The announcement says Common Services version 3.05 and newer are vulnerable. Earlier releases and the 4.0 release are not vulnerable.
