RE: MS03-039 has been released - critical

["Marc Maiffret" <marc () eeye com>]

Hi,

Just to cut off any stupid debate, that I promise anyone stepping to will
lose... ;-) Giving details of where a flaw is does not make exploits/worms
happen any more often. The "bad guys" do not need details in order to write
exploits and worms. That is apparent when you look at the first RPC flaw and
how NO details were released yet an exploit and worm were. However, with
details, we can all audit our networks for the flaws, to know systems we
need to fix, and setup IDS/IPS systems to monitor for attackers, whereas we
couldn't without details. Also, we can check to make sure vendors did not
(yet again) screw up and release a patch that does not truly fix a system.

|
| This is well known. However it´s not the BoF exploit.
|
| Yet again, the detailed advisory from Eeye makes it fairly easy to write
| a working exploit. Although I haven´t seen a PoC yet I would expect it
| to be release shortly. It´s a bit harder to exploit than the previous
| RPC Dcom weakness but it´s certainly possible.
|
| Please note that Eeye has already released an update for Retina Security
| Scanner and I suppose every script kid, cracker or hacker should be able
| to sniff to code from Retina going to a remote vulnerable host. You
| think? CHAM, yeah?
|
| I suggest we update RPC - again.
