You are of course unaffected if you are behind a firewall or NAT router:

To exploit this vulnerability, the attacker would require the ability to send a specially crafted request to port 135, 139, or 445 or any other specifically configured RPC port on the remote machine. For intranet environments, these ports would normally be accessible, but for Internet connected machines, these would normally be blocked by a firewall. In the case where these ports are not blocked, or in an intranet configuration, the attacker would not require any additional privileges.

So for private individuals the threat is more critical, but for the real world it's not actually that bad.

But a correctly written worm would mean only one computer on a intranet would need to be infected for it to spread.
Im going to compile it in a while and give it a shot at my unpatched 2000 sp4 server.

So, there Is _another_ exploit to add to the MS Windows list. How rare...

Quite frankly, as long as youve got a firewall It cant really do much, although there are ways around them.

I reckon most of these things are created by the so-called 'security companies' to perpetuate their work.
