Important security patches MS08-067 Microsoft systems
Windows operating systems as complex as I can be free of problems and distributes a weekly Microsoft updates and patches to make sure their systems. No big news! It gets more interesting when Microsoft makes a "great release of MS08-067 Critical on Windows." And 'with this title that have left several emails to users and partners to signal the release of this security bulletin highlighting a vulnerability in the Server service that makes it possible to run the code without the need to authenticate!
While the servers are exposed to the Internet (or rather should have) exhibited only a few doors for you need services (think of a Web server: TCP ports 80 and 443), it is equally true that the servers in the LAN sure. Excluding the malevolence of a user, the fact remains that any computer on the network may be a carrier of a virus that can exploit this vulnerability. Computers with updated antivirus engines or obsolete, not to mention unprotected, can be a good vehicle and then a big problem! If it is true that companies tend to control their own fleet, is also more common than you think that you link your own laptop to a cable network in your office for an update from the Internet or to copy dvx or any mp3 that a colleague has kindly made available on your PC.
I do not want terrorism, but the insistence that Microsoft wanted to notify this vulnerability is such that it deserves a lot 'of attention. So I refer you immediately to read the complete security bulletin MS08-067 and I invite you to update your servers as soon as possible.
