MS03-039: new RPC vulnerability, new patch to supercede the
#1902305 - 09/10/03 01:40 PM (20 years, 8 months ago) |

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/MS03-039.asp
This new patch supercedes the old MS03-026 one. The new flaw is in the RPCSS service (not the RPC endpoint mapper like the old patch) and exploits a hole between it and DCOM to run arbitrary code. Fortunately, the bulletin was just released today, and the patch is already out on Windows Update, so I would recommend rolling this one out as soon as possible before the next incarnation of RPC exploit worms makes it out into the wild.

i prefer http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml
however, some of us still run windows, and need to know about this sort of thing.
I predict something nasty will start spreading using this exploit, might as well patch now to prevent it

Is it difficult to dual boot a PC? I was seriously considering red hat, as I have it all burned onto cd.

> Is it difficult to dual boot a PC? Yes and no. Microsoft tries to make it as difficult as possible... win98 for example will take the entire disk and wipe out any other install if it can get away with it, etc... The other nasty problem with dual booting is that bios, which OS's use to bootstrap with, can only access the first 8gb of any hard drive. This means that at least the booting part of both OS' must be within the first 8GB of your hard drive. You can use two different hard drives and put a seperate OS on each, but most boot loaders do not know how to boot from a second drive... most only allow you to choose between bootable partitions on a single drive. I haven't played with this in about two years, so things may have changed between now and then. Look for a project called Grub... it is an opensource/GNU boot loader than can load about any intel based OS from about any drive. http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/
