Peaches Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Nov12, 2009New SMB Zero-Day Exploit?by Jonathan Leopando (Technical Communications) Third-party security researchers reported that they found a vulnerability in both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 Release 2. The said bug exists in the handling of Server Message Block (SMB) packets and can allow malicious users to remotely crash systems if a malformed packet is received by the target system. The crash does not lead to the infamous blue screen of death, however. It merely renders the system unresponsive. Older versions of Windows (e.g., Windows Vista) are not affected by this vulnerability. More details at TrendLabs - http://blog.trendmicro.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
