No, that was a NAS.

That was a bug that caused an on chip clock to stop working. It affected the Atom C2000 (Avoton and Rangeley) devices. I think it was cleared up some time ago.

No, that was every single product with an Atom C2000 prior to the discovery of the flaw. Which included a lot of Cisco equipment.
It's vaguely possible this is a case of a failed workaround for that fault.

Actually yes, both ASA 5508 and 5516 were listed in the Cisco FN for that CPU clock bug.

Also in that case it was "Might Fail After 18 Months or Longer"
