11/8 ObM$Sucks

\_ How is this different from the hundreds of other M$ security
vulnerabilities that people have been finding?
\_ "The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an
attacker sends a continuous flow of specially crafted UDP
packets to a closed port on a target system."
This means any machine on the network can be rooted, even if
the target machine is running firewall and anti-virus software.
No doubt there are 10s of millions of compromisable machines.
\_ Always followed the rule: Never hook up a Windows
machine directly to the internet. No wonder. |
