Our Microsoft TAM notified us of this new
issue. I waited to give them time to publish it to the various news
sites.
At 9AM PST, PSS will
be announcing a new critical security bulletin (MS03-039). This
bulletin will address an RPC denial-of-service vulnerability in Windows
products. Please take the time today to go to the www.microsoft.com/security site to obtain the patch and
directions for implementation. Just trying to help you stay
one step ahead!
I think it is very
important to get this update on all your DC's even if they are behind a firewall
ASAP. We managed to mitigate blaster but these RPC DOS are starting to get
really nasty.
Anyone have a clue
as to how Microsoft plans to fix the RPC system to make it more
secure?
Thanks,
Todd
