Critical vulnerability in Windows could allow remote code execution

Yesterday Microsoft released a security bulletin about a new vulnerability in TCP/IP which can allow an attacker to execute code remotely by a continuous flow of UDP packets to a closed port on the target’s Windows computer. This vulnerability affects Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. A security update has been released that modifies the way the UDP packets are kept track of in memory.
