maybe not 100% acknowledged, but still good to know From: 3APA3A <3APA3A_@_security.nnov.ru> Date: 11 октября 2003 г. Subject: Bad news on RPC DCOM vulnerability -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dear bugtraq@securityfocus.com, There are few bad news on RPC DCOM vulnerability: 1. Universal exploit for MS03-039 exists in-the-wild, PINK FLOYD is again actual. 2. It was reported by exploit author (and confirmed), Windows XP SP1 with all security fixes installed still vulnerable to variant of the same bug. Windows 2000/2003 was not tested. For a while only DoS exploit exists, but code execution is probably possible. Technical details are sent to Microsoft, waiting for confirmation. Dear ISPs. Please instruct you customers to use personal fireWALL in Windows XP. http://www.security.nnov.ru -- Tomas Daniska systems engineer Tronet Computer Networks Plynarenska 5, 829 75 Bratislava, Slovakia tel: +421 2 58224111, fax: +421 2 58224199 A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first.
