It's not a new Blaster, but when we today refer to Blaster/Lovsan from 2003 in 2010 we will refer to MS08-067,
because it was the first remarkable non-Office vulnerability used in targeted attacks.

So it's serious, about as serious a bug as we've seen from Microsoft in
at least 2 or 3 years, but it's no Blaster. People are largely better

MS05-039.

Yes, that serious.
