“Microsoft has acknowledged that it is working on a patch for a potentially serious security hole in fully patched versions of Windows XP Service Pack 2. […] In an advisory posted at SecurityProtocols.com, [a private security] researcher described the issue as a remote kernel denial-of-service flaw affecting XP SP2, with the default firewall turned on. […] the flaw resides in the Windows “Remote Desktop” feature that allows XP users to remotely control computers from another office, from home or while traveling.”
