Subject: Re: [LSD] Critical security vulnerability in Microsoft Operating
 Systems



Hello,

We confirm the existance of the following RPC attack vectors pointed out
by Todd Sabin with regard to the vulnerability described in MS03-026.
These are respectively:

- ncacn_np:\pipe\epmapper
- ncadg_ip_udp:135
- ncacn_ip_tcp:135
- ncacn_http:593

This means that at least:
- UDP port 135,
- TCP ports 135, 139, 445 and 593 can be used as remote attack vectors.

The possibility of using ncacn_http (and TCP port 80) for the purpose
of launching a remote attack depends on whether COM Internet Services
are enabled for DCOM on a Windows Server running IIS (as far as we know
they are not enabled by default).

Best Regards,
Members of LSD Research Group
