Exploit Code Arises for Latest Windows Flaws

Adding more fuel to the fears that another Windows worm is on the horizon, security experts said Tuesday afternoon that they have seen working exploit code in the wild for the latest pair of vulnerabilities in the Windows RPC DCOM interface.

The discovery of the code, which can be used to attack the two buffer overrun flaws in the interface, comes just two days after someone posted to a security mailing list exploit code for a denial-of-service weakness in the same interface. The RPC DCOM problems are particularly troubling and potentially dangerous because they affect nearly every current version of Windows, including the new Windows Server 2003.
