Cisco said dozens of its networking and communications devices are likely vulnerable to a recently disclosed SSH vulnerability.

The enterprise tech giant said that 42 products are confirmed to contain the remote code execution flaw, including products in Network Management and Provisioning, Network and Content Security, Enterprise and Service Provider Routing and Switching, Unified Computing, Unified Voice and Communications Devices, Video Streaming Telepresence and Transcoding, and Wireless.

If that was not enough of a headache, Cisco said that 51 products across those same lines were also still under investigation for the flaw and some or all may well be added to the list.

For what it’s worth, Cisco noted that at least 48 of its currently supported hardware and cloud services are confirmed not as vulnerable to exploitation.

Should administrators find themselves overseeing one or more of the vulnerable products, Cisco recommended restricting SSH access to trusted hosts until a software fix is available.
