New RPC Exploit Code Published to the Web!
Security firms warned that hackers have published exploit code to the Web that takes advantage of the latest critical security flaw in Windows. The publication of exploit code for a vulnerability is a common precursor to the outbreak of a worm based on the flaw.
The exploit code takes advantage of flaws related to the DCOM RPC technology in Windows NT-based versions of Windows such as Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. A flaw in the technology was discovered in July and, after the publication of exploit code, hackers put out several worms including Blaster that used the security hole to attack systems.
