There were some vulnerabilities related to this, but actually the fix was to
make sure the native VLAN wasn't trunked, if I understand it correctly....
Although the vulnerabilities caused a big stir, they were hard to exploit.
They required physical access to the switch, a Sniffer, and traffic
generation capabilities. Also, Cisco may have made some changes to avoid the
problem after it got reported. But here's the info from SANS:
