Microsoft admits it doesn't have a fix for exploit in Windows servers

[eddie]

Source: Microsoft Security Advisory

While the list of exploits trying to take advantage of a serious DNS flaw in Microsoft's Server Operating Systems keeps growing in size, the company told users that it does not have a fix at hand. Instead, Microsoft is telling administrators to use a workaround while the company tries to get a patch out of the door. Though, according to Microsoft Security Response Center you should not hold your breath for the patch as the same may not be available till next month.

Affected Software are

• Microsoft Windows 2000 Server Service Pack 4
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2
