<p> NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- A security flaw has been found in Cisco Systems
Inc.'s (CSCO) internetwork operating system that could allow hackers to penetrate
all of Cisco's routers.</p>
<p> Cisco released a security advisory detailing "a significant denial of
service vulnerability that affects its entire line of IPv4 devices," <org>Internet
Security Systems Inc.<orgid value="NASDAQ-NMS:ISSX"></orgid> (ISSX) said
Thursday.</org></p>
<p> Cisco, which makes networking equipment for the Internet, didn't return
calls seeking comment.</p>
<p> ISS heard about the problem Wednesday after speaking with Internet Protocol
service providers.</p>
<p> "We came across it because we had heard all the major IP service backbone
providers were doing emergency upgrades over the last 36 hours very quietly,"
said Chris Rouland, vice president of ISS's X-Force research and development
team. "This is a very severe problem. All of Cisco's routers are affected."<br>
