Critical security vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Vista, 7 and 2008 Server operating systems
|
2009-09-10

|
 |
An exploit that abuses a critical security vulnerability on Microsoft Windows Vista, 7 and 2008 Server operating systems has been published. The vulnerability allows an attacker to carry out Denial of Service attacks on affected systems. The exploit just requires a connection to the SMB (445 TCP) port; no authentication is required. |
| Since Microsoft has not released a patch yet, and considering that exploit is publically available, INFIGO IS recommends that network traffic to the TCP port 445 is limited, even in internal networks. Users of IDS systems should add specific signatures for this exploit. Clients using INFIGO IS managed security services have been already updated. |
