Attack Code Found For Recent Windows Bug 184
CWmike writes "Just a day after downplaying the vulnerability that caused it to issue an out-of-cycle patch last week, Microsoft warned customers late yesterday that exploit code had gone public and was being used in additional attacks. 'We've identified the public availability of exploit code that now shows code execution for the vulnerability addressed by MS08-067,' said Mike Reavey, operations manager of Microsoft's Security Response Center, in a post to the MSRC blog. 'This exploit code has been shown to result in remote code execution on Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and Windows 2000.'"

Slashdot's unbiased coverage of an exploit for a patch that was released last week has finally convinced me to stop using MS products. I'm also beginning to think this MS might be evil as well.

Well, to be fair, their discussion took place on Wiki pages, so it was either Ubuntu 8.04 or HAHAHHAYOUSUCKCOCKS.

Yeah, I can see that some 13 year old vandal might think that it was funny to replace "Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2" with something silly like, er... "Ubuntu 8.04" ;-)
BTW, HAHAHHAYOUSUCKCOCKS 2.06 is a fine server distro and I won't hear a word against it.

Yeah, it doesn't actually do much. Just lets me win willy-waving matches.

Damnit! Stop doing that. Your job on Slashdot is to perpetuate the holy OS wars. If you start to lose an argument based in 'nuh uh, yeah huh' then immediately question the person's choice of vi verses emacs.
Never EVER admit that something may come down to personal preference unless you are willing to follow it up by blatantly trashing said person's personal preference by calling them 'dumb' or 'retarded'. Finally, if you are totally and completely losing the argument, link to final irrefutable proof: like this [goatse.cx]
