Check Your Cisco Software
Use the Cisco Software Checker to search for Cisco Security Advisories that apply to specific software releases of the following products: Cisco ASA, FMC, FTD, FXOS, IOS, IOS XE, NX-OS and NX-OS in ACI Mode.
To use the tool, select a product, platform (as required) and one or more releases, enter the output of the show version command, or upload a text file that lists specific releases. Then narrow the check to certain advisories, if desired.
The availability of security fixes after the End of Sale is defined in the product’s End-of-Sale announcement, as explained in the Cisco End-of-Life Policy. Additional information about Cisco software updates, vulnerability rating and scoring is available in the Cisco Security Vulnerability Policy.
This tool does not provide information about Cisco IOS XR Software or interim software builds. Also note that for Cisco ASA, FMC, FTD and FXOS Software, the tool only contains vulnerability information for Cisco Security Advisories first published from January 2022 onward, and for NX-OS Software and NX-OS Software in ACI Mode from July 2019 onward.
