White Paper on the MS08-067 vulnerability and the associated malware
Summary: Matt Olney, Alain Zidouemba and Lurene Grenier of the Sourcefire VRT collated their analysis of the DCE/RPC vulnerability announced in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067, and the resulting white paper was published on snort.org. The post, dated Thursday, October 30, 2008, notes that the white papers require no form to be filled in and no login to access.
Bottom line: MS08-067 was a remotely exploitable DCE/RPC flaw serious enough that Microsoft issued an out-of-band bulletin and Sourcefire's VRT built dedicated analysis and detection around it - the kind of vulnerability that spreads without user action.
