Original Post: 2008-10-23 12:16:16 UTC Microsoft has just released an advance notification of an out-of-band update to be released on 23rd of October. They will hold a special webcast on the 23rd at 1:00 pm PT to discuss the release. The patch will be released at 10.00 am. The information in the bulletin mentions a remote code exploit, but no further details are provided, however a restart will be required. Microsoft rates the issue as critical for 2000/XP/2003 and important for vista/2008. If we get more information we'll update this diary. Mark ps thanks to some very fast ISC supporters for letting us know.

Does an exploit of this magnitude perhaps warrant an increased threat level? Or would that come when wild exploitation grows?
