I suspect most of us have seen the news about the new ransomware WannaCry that is spreading globally.
It exploits an SMB vulnerability patched in March 2017.
Search the net on “wannacry ransomware” for additional info.
Do check to make sure your systems are patched with MS17-010.
Since Microsoft is now going to provide patches for previously unsupported OS’s (XP, 2003, 8) are there plans to make these installers available through BigFix?
Relax is still not the work I would use, I would still strongly recommend patching, even tho the kill switch was found for this campaign does not mean that similar attacks with modified content will not pop up quickly.
Thanks again to the team for getting this content out quickly.
Has anybody had issues with the WindowsXP fixlet? It seems to install the patch but it returns a fail 100% of the time relevance wise. Our R&D folks still have these for testing but until they are forced to rid of them we have to deal with them KB4012598
I went to numerous machines and found that the patch was install.
The reason the fixlet was failing is because it was checking for the wrong version of the srv.sys file… the version in the package is 5.1.2600.7208, but it looks like they inadvertently tested for the XP 64-bit or Server 2003 version (5.2.3790.6021). It looks like the fixlet has been updated with the correct version check.
We are using this to look for the original KB’s for MS17-010 AND all the KB’s that superseded them.
