Vulnerability?.. only for sloppy configurationIf EIGRP vulnerabilities in the enterprise are a serious threat, then IT managers had best get their butts in gear. Otherwise, public connections should be properly controlled via ACL, hence this isn't really an issue for 99.9% of the IOS routers out there.
