"The vulnerability can be easily exploited in Windows XP
with Service Pack 1 and 2, as well as Windows Server 2003,

exploit, said Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at
F-Secure.
"Right now, the situation is bad, but it could be much
worse. The potential for problems is bigger than we have ever
seen,"
