Microsoft Windows 2000 Security Flaw Worse Than First Thought
is a story on the
report that a recently discovered Win2K vulnerability is worse than
originally thought, saying "It's important that businesses apply a new
patch to all Windows 2000 systems, advisories state -- not just those running
Microsoft's IIS Web server software." They quote the advisory as saying:
"We expect that a worm attack similar to Nimda will eventually be created
using this vulnerability as a primary mechanism. Such a broad 'zero day' attack
could be orchestrated as soon as 7-10 days, and is likely in the next
month." Vulnerable systems are those "running Windows 2000 Advanced
Server, Server, or Professional with either Service Pack 2 or Service Pack 3
installed." The patch to address this and its related information can be found
here. Thanks Darkhorse.
