"Waiting for the Worms
The hole's been announced, the patch has been released. Now there's
nothing to do but wait for the worm to come and wreak its ugly havoc."
By Tim Mullen Jul 21 2003 12:00AM PT
"As a security person, I get paid to be accurate. In this case, I hope
I'm wrong -- but I hope I'm wrong for the right reason. In six months we
can sit back and say, "see, I told you so," while others put in
20-hour-a-day weekends cleaning up Mescaline. Or we can be proactive and
get the word out as security evangelists: patch and protect your
systems, practice least privilege and implement security in depth."
"Let's all do our part to make Mescaline a flash in the pan. I still got
dibs on the name, though."
I invite everyone to read an excellent article by Tim Mullen on the 03-026
patch:
SecurityFocus HOME Columnists: Waiting for the Worms:
http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/174
I then invite everyone to get the word out.... 03-026 is supported on SP3 and
SP4,
thus if you aren't up to that patch level...do it...now while we have time.
We've had two prior times to get this right. Let's show everyone that third
time is
the charm and show Mr. Mullen that we can do it right this time.
Patch. While we have time.
