Default Re: OT: RPC Service Shutdown = BLaster Worm

This worm is a bit more nasty than was first reported. The Maryland DMV had a system wide crash from it today. Our part of the state network was not completely protected by the firewalls (3), or else a pita sneaker-net’d it in. It seems that our Citrix/ica network was not to it’s liking. There is a hot fix for XP and another for 2k at Microsoft. The normal updates do not address it at this time. It has the ability to port scan once executed, and while it was thought to only direct an attack against MS, this has proven to be wrong.

2K hot fix http://microsoft.com/downloads/detai...displaylang=en

XP hot fix http://microsoft.com/downloads/detai...displaylang=en

If you have it already, go here http://securityresponse.symantec.com...oval.tool.html

Seriously, this seems to be a bad one.
