We had white hat hackers patching as a public service before anti-hacking laws got so draconian. Had a Solaris 2.5 box patched by a do-gooder who didn't check his work because he also filled /tmp and his script failed to clean up after itself. It was a good reason to get a clue and switch to bsd.
Outstanding work. I wish they'd list affected models but they did name and shame Cisco.
Hopefully the government didn't do the latter steps.
