Sounds good to me, I've already given my IDS guy the details that you've posted and he's going to write his IDS rules by them.
No problem here :-) Exibar -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marc Maiffret Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 6:26 PM To: Peter Kruse; 'Mike Tancsa'; 'Exibar'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [inbox] RE: [Full-Disclosure] MS03-039 has been released - critical Hi, Just to cut off any stupid debate, that I promise anyone stepping to will lose... ;-) Giving details of where a flaw is does not make exploits/worms happen any more often. The "bad guys" do not need details in order to write exploits and worms. That is apparent when you look at the first RPC flaw and how NO details were released yet an exploit and worm were. However, with details, we can all audit our networks for the flaws, to know systems we need to fix, and setup IDS/IPS systems to monitor for attackers, whereas we couldn't without details. Also, we can check to make sure vendors did not (yet again) screw up and release a patch that does not truly fix a system.
