M0re than a month after releasing an emergency patch for the MS08-067 RPC vulnerability , Microsoft on Tuesday warned that it is seeing increased levels of attack activity against the flaw. The company said that there is a new worm, being called Win32/Conficker.A , which is exploiting the RPC flaw and spreading in both enterprises and in home user environments. Conficker opens a random TCP port between 1024 and 10000 and then starts exploiting the MS08-067 vulnerability on other PCs on the network.
