thanks.

My guess is that they are referring to the hardware CCR1016, CCR1036, and CCR1072, which I think is what they tested against.

I haven't seen any version numbers of RouterOS that are affected, but my guess would be that the versions are prior to the latest fixes they have put out. From what I was reading, it mostly affects older versions of software, and not necessarily the latest versions.

here is the Cisco Talos post about it:

They mean RouterOS as used on CCR models 1016, 1036, 1072, and other Mikrotik products. This is already being discussed at viewtopic.php?f=2&t=134754.
