  Microsoft Confirms New Windows DoS Flaw
Time: 01:03 EST/06:03 GMT | News Source: Ent Mag | Posted By: Kenneth van Surksum

Microsoft today confirmed the existence of an unpatched Windows flaw that could allow a remote attacker to crash the system and produce a blue screen.

A specially crafted network packet sent to an affected system could trigger a crash because of a vulnerability in the Server Message Block protocol null pointer dereference in the server driver (srv.sys). Internet Security Systems (ISS) recommends blocking TCP ports 139 and 445 at the perimeter firewall, both inbound and outbound.

I predict that Parker will spend hours scouring the security sites looking for evidence that something like this has also happened to at least one Unix variant, so therefore, Microsoft software is still perfectly safe for everyone, and no one has anything to be concerned about. :-)

#2--especially since you're savvy enough to check out Shields-Up, why on earth do you have those ports open???

NCAA jerseys warning: Helmet must NOT be used as protective equipment in football or any other contact sport Team logo helmet with chin strap Mesh team jersey one size fits most: ages 5-9 Show your team support on game day! Scheduling might also be easier because you are privy to their schedule and know their availability Dallas Cowboys jerseys symbolize NFL; once you have one you won want to wear anything else In most leagues there are two reserves for most positions I don see any letdown in these guys He's fifth in overall receiving yardage Students must also demonstrate that they have the financial resources to study without the need to engage in unauthorized or illegal employment
