,----[ Quote ]
| A network worm attack exploiting a critical Microsoft Windows
| vulnerability appears inevitable, security experts warned Aug. 10.
|
| [...]
|
| An exploit module was added to the HD Moore's Metasploit Framework that
| could launch attacks against all unpatched Windows 2000 systems and some
| versions of Windows XP.
|
| Two penetration testing companies, Immunity and Core Security
| Technologies, have already created and released "reliable exploits"
| for the flaw, which was deemed wormable on all Windows versions,
| including Windows XP SP2 and Windows Server 2003 SP1.
