[ubuntu-tn] Fwd: [ZDNET] Microsoft patch fails; Google knows what you're thinking; Opt-in botnets

Ven 23 Avr 23:19:57 UTC 2010

Hi,

Microsoft has yanked the security updates shipped in the MS10-025  
bulletin after realizing the patch did not fix the underlying security  
vulnerability.

The withdrawal of the bulletin means that affected Windows 2000 Server  
users should immediately consider applying mitigations and workarounds  
to avoid malicious hacker attacks.

The company did not explain why the bulletin was shipped with an  
inadequate patch.  A brief blog post from Microsoft’s Jerry Bryant  
offered the following:

We pulled the update because we found it does not address the  
underlying issue effectively. We are not aware of any active attacks  
seeking to exploit this issue and are targeting a re-release of the  
update for next week.

The issue only affects Windows 2000 Server customers who have  
installed Windows Media Services (a non-default configuration).

Bryant urged affected users  with internet facing systems with Windows  
Media Services installed to evaluate and use firewall best practices  
to limit their overall exposure.

The MS10-025 bulletin is rated “critical” because attackers could  
launchi remote code execution if an attacker sent a specially crafted  
transport information packet to a Microsoft Windows 2000 Server system  
running Windows Media Services.
