grc.com je napisao(la):A VERY SERIOUS New Windows Vulnerability
Microsoft has released a patch which ALL USERS OF
WINDOWS NT, 2000, XP, and 2003 should apply immediately!
This vulnerability is being called "the mother of all Windows vulnerabilities" because it allows Windows-based commercial Internet servers and regular Windows users to be remotely compromised by malicious hackers through many different avenues.
Security experts were upset to learn that Microsoft was informed of this extremely serious vulnerability more than six months ago, yet took until now to fix the problem. The vulnerability was obvious and easy to resolve once it was known, yet Windows NT, 2000, XP, and 2003 machines have remained susceptible. Now known publicly, the vulnerability is readily exploitable.
Users of Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express are made vulnerable through their eMail client as well as other avenues, and Windows machines with default "network bindings", which are not protected by a personal firewall or NAT router, are directly vulnerable to remote Internet compromise.
Security experts expect new Internet worms and new eMail exploits to appear shortly, so please update all potentially vulnerable systems as soon as possible. This is a big one folks . . .
