I wonder why they picked KB921883 to freak out about?


Affected TCP/IP ports:

139 - NetBIOS Datagram Service
445 - Microsoft-DS

Basically, if you're running a Windows NetBIOS (SMB/CIFS) network without a firewall or MS' latest patches, you're vulnerable.

If you're doing -any- Windows Printer/File Sharing, you're running with these ports open.

This affects a -lot- of Windows networks.  Maybe even DHS' own network. ;-)

A500 (put away), A3000d, Genesis Flyer (A1200 tower with
Toaster/Flyer), and A1XE with OS4pre

Oh, yeah, and this WinXP box with Lightwave 7.5
