A worm designed to exploit the recently patched vulnerability covered in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067 has been detected, US-CERT, the government's cybersecurity organization, warned Monday.
Just over a week ago, Microsoft issued MS08-067 as an out-of-band patch to fix a critical flaw that could allow a remote attacker to take over Windows computers without any user interaction. The flaw has to do with the way the Microsoft Windows server service handles Remote Procedure Call requests.
