There’s been a lot of news around Security Advisory 979352 so I thought I’d take a minute and give a summary of the major links from the MSRC that have come across my desk since it was released last Thursday.

Worm Exploits MS08-067 Bug DOWNAD, also known as the Conficker worm, was first seen in the wild taking advantage of the MS08-067 vulnerability. True to form, it propagated via shared networks.
