generally are not very interested in security issues of Windows, but this concerns me because it directly affects those who normally use for my work. Researchers at a French company that deals with information security have discovered a vulnerability that has been classified as "critical" for Windows XP SP3 and Windows Server 2003 SP2 . The problem is mrxsmb.sys driver, and to be precise in BrowserWriteErrorLogEntry function (). It appears that this flaw can be exploited to remotely take complete control of a vulnerable system, but only on 64 bit systems and not on 32. The problem still affects the SMB protocol used for sharing resources; properly configuring your firewall and blocking ports 138, 139 and 445 protocols TCP and UDP we'll still be able to protect systems from any attack. Soon Microsoft will release a patch to put us all al sicuro e dormire sogni tranquilli... aspettando il prossimo baco!
