Microsoft DNS Server Attacks Continue | |
|
||
| Time: 00:05 EST/05:05 GMT | News Source: BetaNews | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum | ||

In an advisory this morning borrowing language used during previous statements about completely different exploits, Microsoft's Security Response Center team confirmed that it has seen at least one new wave of attacks based on proof-of-concept code impacting its DNS server software in Windows Server-based systems. The concept enables malicious users to run code remotely under the system privileges generally granted to the DNS service itself. Although technically, the exploit does not directly threaten Internet routing the same way as the crafted IPv6 header problem in Cisco routers that also periodically rears its ugly head (or heads its ugly rear), this exploit can impact the routing of e-mail and other IP traffic within an enterprise or limited domain. | ||

Don't worry though. MS will rush out a fix 3 weeks from now. Maybe.

This is not an issue with a properly configured Firewall - as with any technology, care must be taken in proper configuration and usage
#1 The article you cited says Microsoft has "teams around the world working on it twenty-four hours a day". What more do you want? This is not the planet Latch where there is no competition, everyone innovates, and all software is bug free, but no one uses the software because they are too busy bellyaching. |

#2: No, this is Planet Spin, also known as Microsoftia. Teams around the world working 24-7 on this one issue should be able to resolve it in less than 3 weeks, especially when the flaw is being actively exploited (regardless of MS' claims to the contrary).
