URGENT Security Update for Internet Explorer

12/18/2008

Security Update urgent for Internet Explorer if you don't already have, I would say that yesterday evening was the case of a security update urgent for all versions of the Internet Explorer. The updating is on a vulnerability of type "remote code execution", which allows a remote attacker to obtain the privileges user that has done logon on the machine. The protected mode for Internet Explorer 7.0 and 8.0 for users of domain with privileges reduced the level of Risk, but whereas there are a series of websites on which is already loaded this exploit it is suggested to do immediate update for clients and servers, through Windows Update, Microsoft Windows Update or Server Update Services (wsus).

Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067 – URGENT

10/24/2008

I wanted to call your attention to a critical, out-of-band Microsoft Security Bulletin released yesterday.

 

This security update resolves a privately reported vulnerability in the Server service. The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an affected system received a specially crafted RPC request. On Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 systems, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability without authentication to run arbitrary code. It is possible that this vulnerability could be used in the crafting of a wormable exploit. Firewall best practices and standard default firewall configurations can help protect network resources from attacks that originate outside the enterprise perimeter. This security update is rated Critical for all supported editions of Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, and rated Important for all supported editions of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. For more information, see the subsection, Affected and Non-Affected Software, in this section.
