So Cisco will give you firmware updates to your device as long as you can prove the update patches a current security vulnerability. Not sure I’d ever be saying this , but thanks to Heartbleed exploit , all Cisco devices will be effected by this
This blog explains how to get the version of your current switch/router and query Cisco’s database for exploits, however I needed to find a vulnerability of my Cisco Fabric Switch …

All you need to do is Google your switch OS with vulnerability afterwards to get them!
See the email thread that worked , you need to email [email protected]
Thank you for providing the SA/PSIRT ID. Kindly give me your CCO ID for us to publish the file as an exception.

Thanks , however :
As it stands, CISCO’s security vulnerability policy states that (emphasis mine):
As a special customer service, and to improve the overall security of the Internet, Cisco may offer customers free of charge software updates to address security problems. If Cisco has offered a free software update to address a specific issue, noncontract customers who are eligible for the update may obtain it by contacting the Cisco TAC using any of the means described in the Contact Summary section of this document. To verify their entitlement, individuals who contact the TAC should have available the URL of the Cisco document that is offering the update.
See below for the following Security Fixed this patch provides us
