Just calling out the good guys at Microtik. They patched their router a year before being notified by Cisco.

As a Mikrotik devote, I love the active development and patches being pushed for their Packages and RouterBoard. If anyone maintains a Mikrotik router and/or switches and hasn't heard about the vulnerability and actively patched their systems, then they're completely at fault and putting themselves and possibly they're companies at risk.

Honest question: how's their GPL compliance these days?

It's also extremely easy to update RouterOS these days : a couple of clicks in winbox and reboot, for example.

Just make sure that you don't end up downloading a few DLLs you weren't expecting.

Is this posted somewhere? I read the CERT release, TFA, and the MT forums and can't see any reference to a known fixed version. Thanks.

I can't say definitively, but I couldn't find a public posting on this by MicroTik at the time Cisco made their information public on Cisco's Talos bolg. So I contacted MT support through email and was told that they were notified of the vulnerability May 18, 2018 but had already patched it March of 2017. I looked at the changelog on MTs RouterOS and several vulnerabilities were patched back at the time.
