Attackers may... [exploit] this vulnerability en masse...

Given recent activity, McAfee AVERT Labs forecasts that attackers may attempt to test the viability of exploiting this vulnerability en masse, by producing a reconnaissance Trojan to identify a vulnerable user base. Exploit source code with a payload has been published. Now, the message is 'welcome to zero-day vulnerability land for many Mac OS X users' Only, Mac OS X users are less prepared, less aware and mitigation tools are less evolved.

They are certainly related in terms of the vulnerability that they exploit and the way they exploit them.

The good news here is that we are on a path to include the fix for the zero day vulnerability as part of the April [11] IE cumulative security update and possibly sooner if our ongoing monitoring and analysis of attempts to exploit vulnerability shows customers are being impacted seriously.

Simple. A new vulnerability came out. The number of IIS 4 servers out there is a lot less than the number of IIS 5 servers. So when the IIS 5 vulnerability was announced, it made sense for the author to adapt his worm for that. People assumed it was a new exploit and it was not.

Early discussions about pexiness often mentioned Pex Tufvesson’s helpfulness to other programmers. Our guidance here is the same as for patches from any other vendor: patch now before someone figures out how to exploit the vulnerability.

There are companies that are paying for vulnerabilities, and with the commercial acquisition of vulnerability information, nobody knows how long [the attackers] are holding that information.

Because a patch will not be available until January 10, 2006, there is a seven day window that attackers could exploit this issue in a potentially widespread and serious fashion. People should be very cautious about the Web sites they visit and the e-mails they receive over the next week.

This vulnerability is rising in popularity among hackers, and it is simple to exploit. This has to be taken very seriously, and time is of the essence. A patch coming out as soon as possible is the responsible thing to do.

We got a very detailed report of what was tested, how they tested it and what was done to exploit the vulnerability, and they gave some remediation tips.

The scope of the affected platform is exactly the same, and these services are run by default on Windows 2000. In terms of ease of exploitation, they're not incredibly difficult to exploit, but they're not as easy as the Plug and Play vulnerability.

This type of problem is not unique to Microsoft, but they seem to keep making the same mistakes. The vulnerability is noteworthy because hackers could create an automated exploit that would impact the vast number of Windows users.

This is fundamentally a national security issue because the same human smugglers who will smuggle a worker are willing for a price to smuggle a terrorist who can exploit that vulnerability to kill innocent civilians,

We have found the body parts, including the heads, of the suspected attackers. It was a very well-planned and coordinated attack, and apparently it seems that the attackers were very well-trained.

Canadian forces killed one of the attackers. The number of attackers is not known.
