To those of you who are currently stuck as patch monkeys like me, hell, to everyone, this is HUGE!

Over on the Network Security Podcast, Dan talks about how he got the cooperation of damn near every vendor out there and developed the patches that were simultaneously released today (including MS08-037) patching a "gaping hole in the DNS protocol."

He basically states that on August 6 at BlackHat Vegas, he'll be releasing proof of the vulnerability.

To prove how rediculously huge this is, when have you ever seen all the competitors work on something together AND keep it secret?

(The CERT advisory Word doc lists all the vendors)

As a follow-up...

The M$ patch (MS08-037) is flawed.  I just spoke with a rep at M$ who stated that they are working on fixing it (it pretty much stops you from reaching the internetz if you have ZoneAlarm, and from reaching any update sites anyway), but that "it was a good thing that you haven't installed the latest patches for MS08-037."

How reassuring...

Why do you run ZoneAlarm?
