As expected, LSASS exploit-based worm seems to have arrived. Fasten your seatbelts, those unpatched please use the spew bags provided :) I hope PSS resolves the issues discussed in KB835732.
What's more disturbing is that this worm has established a new record for Microsoft worms [1]. Blaster was the fastest worm (25 days since the patch was published to the worm), this one has been even faster (17 days for the first variant since the patch was published to the worm). Of course, I'm not considering the fact that this issue was known, at least to eEye and Microsoft, for over 5 months.
Regards Javier[1] Approaching the record of worms in other OS, which, I believe, is held by Scalper (10 days from patch to worm). But hey, they could browse the source changes for that one.
