The vulnerability
announced today in MS06-040 can be remotely exploited to take complete control
of a Windows system. Unlike many of Microsoft's other vulnerabilities that are
labeled "critical", this one truly is. To make matters worse, according to CERT,
they know of working exploit code for this vulnerability.
My understanding is
that the campus firewall still blocks TCP 139 and 445, so that gives us some
limited protection.
