Mary Jo Foley reports about vulnerability rumors:
Rumors are swirling about possible “super exploits” that could target several of the Windows vulnerabilities unveiled by Microsoft last week. The Internet Storm Center at The SANS Institute have issued a warning.
Eweek sez:
The four patches were included in Microsoft’s monthly scheduled release of patches for security problems and addressed a large number of “critical” and “important” vulnerabilities. Experts, including the ISC, recommend that users patch quickly.
ISC sez:
IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE PATCHES PROVIDED BY MICROSOFT IN ITS APRIL SECURITY RELEASE BE APPLIED TO SYSTEMS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. It is our belief that the likelihood of a worm being released SOON that exploits one of the vulnerabilities addressed by these patches is VERY HIGH.
