Microsoft ships one-click 'workaround' for critical SMB2 flaw
Permalink   


For those who need it:

With exploit code in circulation and facing a race against time to fix the SMB v2 vulnerability haunting Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, Microsoft today shipped a one-click “fix-it” workaround to help users avoid malicious hacker attacks.

The fix-it package, which was added to Redmond’s pre-patch advisory, effectively disables SMBv2 and then stops and starts the Server service. It provides temporary mitigation from remote code execution attacks targeting the known — and still unpatched — vulnerability.
