Possible worms?
well, we've all heard about MS05-050 (hopefully. if you have not, check it out at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/MS05-050.mspx ).
So, the big question is, "Will this be another Windows worm?" supposedly, this vuln is easy to exploit and it leads to remote code execution (remote control). It also effects nearly every version of Windows. I seem to remember that on www.securityfocus.com they said it might, as well as on www.cnetnews.com. Of course, the comapnies love to give out these adviosories as it gets tham money (point in case, Zotob. It was not bad at all).
So, maybe it will and maybe it won't.
There was also the recently announced snort vuln that was deemed to be wormable (http://www.securityfocus.com/news/11349). While it would cause an impact, Snort is not that widespread (unfortunalty, it is a great NIDS and i say its a great product).
BTW, if you notice symmantecs world wide threat meter is at 2, which means an attack is expected.
So, what are your thoughts? Is it hype or is it for real?
