Automatic Updates (RPC)

[rsvmilly]

I'm having a discussion with our IT man at work.

I'm sure you're all aware of the Blaster virus infecting XP PCs last year. Have Microsoft closed up the vulnerability in the automatic updates? Or do you think this will become a well-used back door?

To quote Sophos; "W32/Blaster-A exploits a vulnerability that can be patched. To read more about the vulnerability and download the patch for deployment, view Microsoft Security Bulletin MS03-026."
