| 28915 | 2001-12-28 10:09:00 | just in case u missed it- grc.com 'eEye has discovered three vulnerabilities within Microsoft's UPnP implementation: a remotely exploitable buffer overflow that allows an attacker gain SYSTEM level access to any default installation of Windows XP, a Denial of Service (DoS) attack, and a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack. eEye would like to stress the extreme seriousness of this vulnerability. Network administrators are urged to immediately install the patch released by Microsoft at www.microsoft.com |

| 28916 | 2001-12-28 14:48:00 | Thanks for that. I posted something asking about setting up ZoneAlarm to stealth/block port 5000. Because it was showing up as open and it was linked to Generic Host Process for Win32 Services which also uses the UDP port 1900 also stated at GRC. I just have to figure out why my port 80 still shows open when ZoneAlarm should be stealthing it. |

| 28917 | 2001-12-28 15:10:00 | Just something else. After installing the patch for UPnP I get no vulnerabilities showing on www.hackyourself.com so I am pleased because I use to get 1 Vulnerabe TCP ports and 6 Vulnerable UDP ports. All I have to do now is get a complete port scan from an outside person to verify it's fixed my problem. |
