    Tool Exploiting MS12-020 Vulnerabilities ...
    - http://atlas.arbor.net/briefs/
    Severity: Elevated Severity
    Published: Wednesday, March 28, 2012 19:20
    An easy-to-use denial of service tool for the Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol vulnerability has been released.
    Analysis: While a metasploit module has been available for some time, a new, easy-to-use point and click tool lowers the bar. Organizations that have yet to patch should do so...

    MS12-020 exploit in-the-wild ...
    - https://www.f-secure.com/weblog/archives/00002338.html
    March 27, 2012 - "Since the public release of Microsoft's MS12-020 bulletin, there have been plenty of attempts to exploit vulnerabilities in the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). Last week, we received a related sample, which turned out to be a tool called "RDPKill by: Mark DePalma" that was designed to kill targeted RDP service. The tool was written with Visual Basic 6.0, and has a simple user interface. We tested it on machines running on Windows XP 32-bit and Windows 7 64-bit... Both the Windows XP 32-bit and the Windows 7 64-bit computers were affected by the Denial of Service (DoS) attack. The service crashed and triggered a "Blue Screen of Death" (BSoD) condition*...
    * https://www.f-secure.com/weblog/arch...pkill_bsod.png
    We detect this tool as Hack-Tool:W32/RDPKill.A. (SHA-1: 1d131a5f17d86c712988a2d146dc73367f5e5917). Besides RDPKill.A, other similar tools and Metasploit module can also be found online. Due to their availability, an unpatched RDP server would be an easy target of DoS attack by attackers who might be experimenting with these tools. For those who still haven't patched their system, especially those running RDP service on their machines, we strongly advise that you to do so as soon as possible..."

Initially the worm spread through the Internet solely by exploiting a software vulnerability in the Windows Server service that had been addressed months earlier in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS08-067. About one month later, Conficker was updated to spread using the Autorun feature and weak passwords or stolen login tokens.

    -Ten- vulnerabilities are addressed in this update, three of which are listed as publicly disclosed. The updates touch many parts of the operating system...
    • MS12-035: Vulnerabilities in .NET Framework Could Allow Remote Code Execution
    Two more vulnerabilities in .NET are addressed... These are separate vulnerabilities, but each involve problems in code responsible for serializing/deserializing data from/into an object. Exploitation via specially crafted .NET code can result in arbitrary code execution...
    • MS12-029: Vulnerability in Microsoft Word Could Allow Remote Code Execution
    A single vulnerability in Microsoft Office's RTF parser is addressed... This vulnerability can be exploited for remote code execution... The RTF parser is shared among Office components so vulnerabilities in the parser can be exploited via an email in Outlook rendered as RTF as well as document attachments.
