Re: Is The RPC a Protocol or a winXP-Service?

["Spyro" <spyromalas () veggiefest com>]

its a service.. it runs over various tcp and udp ports.

e.g. 135-139 and 445 for windows  111 for solaris

here is the msft bulletin on this vuln. understand that many operating
systems use RPC, msfts has had more problems due to buffer overflows etc
lately relative to unix based systems.
