Excerpt from the article
The most dangerous of the four new vulnerabilities is in the RPC Runtime Library, which could be exploited by an attacker who crafts a specially-built message to Windows. The hacker could take complete remote control of the system, although Microsoft said that the most likely result of an attack would be a denial of service, which would bring down Windows.

That is why I patched today. Windows 2k has more holes than 98. UGH!

How many Microsoft Windows vulnerabilites does it take for hackers to take over the world?

One. Just one giant, obvious hole. I have not-so-fond memories of the MyDoom virus.  :(

A better denial of service would be just leaving it running.   :rolleyes:
