Cisco still seems to be spinning it, though.  The important part of 
Lynn's presentation wasn't the IPv6 exploit, but how future exploits can 
be used to execute arbitrary code on Cisco equipment.  By making a big 
deal about the "IPv6 exploit" they are in effect trying to reassure 
people that run IPv4-only networks that this is not a big problem, and 
that it doesn't effect them.
