"The article does not discuss or disclose any Cisco product vulnerabilities."

this is disengenuous at best.  from the nsa document copied in der
spiegel and now many other places:

  "JETPLOW is a firmware persistence implant for Cisco PIX series and
   ASA firewalls ..."

so in cisco kitty litter lingo, what would be "discuss[ing] or
disclos[ing] any Cisco product vulnerabilities?  the exploit code
itself?
