RE: Cisco Workaround (comment on actually using those protocols)

[jamesworld]

Then you would be having traffic of that type allowed in from untrusted 
sources.  Your ACL's would be formed to only allow the explicit traffic 
from those explicit hosts.  And rarely, would you have the traffic 
terminating on the interface or the IP address of the router, it'd be 
passed/routed along to the appropriate host(s).  In those RARE exceptions 
where you would need to terminate them on the IP or interface of the 
router, again you would allow only trusted traffic using those protocols to 
terminate there.

And as far as the 'workaround' goes, it's fine  you need to adjust it for 
your environment if you use those protocols of course.
As far as the 'solution' goes, the solution is 100%, upgrade to the 
appropriate  patched version.

Alvaro,

No.  The protocol blocked by the access-list is protocol 53 not protocol

TCP or protocol UDP port 53.

If you need further info, let me know,
