Windows Worm Expected Soon
By Mohammad Yousef | October 13, 2005
Just one day after Microsoft released patches for holes
in its Windows operating system, proof-of-concept code that exploits
the critical "MSDTC" vulnerability (addressed in security
bulletin
MS05-051) has already been written. Although this code has not yet
been released to the public, a worm outbreak similar to Zotob is
predicted.
Immunity, the security research company which wrote this
code, has released exploit code for two other vulnerabilities (MS05-046
and
MS05-047) which were also disclosed last Tuesday. Moreover, code,
that takes advantage of the vulnerability in Network Connection Manager
(MS05-045),
has been found on the internet.
Users of the 2000, XP and Server 2003 versions of Windows
are strongly recommended to apply the patches which are available
through Windows Update.
