July 18, 2003Serious security related flaw in WindowsWell if you haven't heard, there is a pretty major buffer overflow bug in the DCOM RPC code for all flavours of Windows with the NT kernel, including the latest W2K3 which went through a much more thorough audit of all code before release as part of its Trustworthy Initiative. If you send a carefully crafted TCP packet to port 135, you can run malicious code, and could possibly even elevate privileges as the SYSTEM account. Microsoft released an advisory here, and has it in the Windows Update tree. If you are a reader using my IPLinks security driver type this as admin in the cmd line to deal with it until you patch up: iplinks deny in tcp from any to any:135 log Happy patching.
