Subject: Probable new MS DCOM RPC worm for Windows

We've noticed increased scan activity on port 135, ramping up over the 
past 20 hours.

The scanning appears to concentrate on nearby /16s.  For example, when 
the source host has IP in 10.117.68.0/24, we've seen scanning of at 
least single /24s within 10.114.0.0/16, 10.118.0.0/16 and 
10.116.0.0/16, and nowhere else yet.

We've also had 2nd-hand reports of svchost.exe being killed on hosts 
being attacked, causing downloading patches during the attack to fail.  
Also, at least two dialup links are being flooded into uselessness by 
the scan traffic from others nearby.
