Microsoft on Tuesday patched a wormable hole in its Windows Server software that can be exploited remotely to completely commandeer the machine without any authorization. It was one of hundreds of security bugs squashed today by Redmond along with Oracle, Adobe, VMware, SAP and Google. Microsoft emitted fixes for 123 …
Depends how easy it is to exploit in the real world. The description states that the bug will result in the processor executing "arbitary code", but the important point is whether the attacker can know or control the place where such code will be executed, and whether the attacker will be able to reasonably reliably place their malicious code in that place.
