Cisco discloses five critical NX-OS flaws affecting Nexus 3000/9000 switches

Cisco issued advisories for five critical vulnerabilities in NX-OS that could let attackers run code with root privileges or crash devices, triggering a denial-of-service. The flaws stem from input validation failures in the NX-API, Next Generation OAM, and MPLS OAM features, and affect Nexus 3000 and 9000 Series switches running in standalone NX-OS mode. Exploitation requires at least one of those features to be active, with some issues also depending on settings like SRv6 or NV Overlay being enabled.

SASE emerges as unified cloud platform merging networking and security

Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) combines software-defined networking, threat prevention, access control and application security into a single cloud-delivered platform managed through one interface. It relies on globally distributed Points of Presence to enforce security and networking close to users, and typically begins deployment with SD-WAN, which intelligently routes traffic across MPLS, broadband, LTE and 5G links before organizations layer zero-trust security on top.
