Loose RPF vs Strict uRPF

The concept when implementing Loose or strict uRPF (Reverse Path Forwarding) is simple, before forwarding the packet to the destination the router will check to see if the routing table has a route back to the source, if not then the packet is dropped.

In strict uRPF if the interface of the source address is not the same interface as indicated in the route table then the packet is dropped. This is the recommended setting to prevent DOS attacks however the risk is that asymmetrically routed packets will get dropped.

Cisco IOS Security vulnerability bug checker tool

Is there was a better way to see a list of all known vulnerabilities or bugs for a particular IOS version instead of looking at the version release notes?

In an easy to use drop down menu we can now select a particular IOS version to get a list of all known vulnerabilities that effect that version.
