1. Yes
2. No [see below]
3. Indeed, it is another worm exploiting another vulnerability in the
underlying Windows subsystems (this time it's the RPC subsystem, crucial
to normal operation).

[note]
If you're running a publically-accessible Samba server (on a Qube, for
example), it _might_ cause a local service DoS if it manages to make the
daemon crash. It won't, however, exploit it since the hole is in
Windows, not Samba, code.
