Threat Type: Malicious Web Site / Malicious Code

(PresseBox) (Köln, )
Websense Security Labs has received reports of exploits circulating in the wild that take advantage of a serious Windows vulnerability. Microsoft just released an out-of-band patch to address this just hours ago (see MS08-067).

The remote code execution vulnerability is found in netapi32.dll, and carries a severity rating of "Critical" by Microsoft, affecting even fully patched Windows machines. This vulnerability (CVE-2008-4250) allows malicious hackers to write a worm (self-propagating malicious code without need for any user interaction), by crafting a special RPC request. A successful exploitation would result in the complete control of victim machine.
