Windows 7 DoS Flaw Workaround

Security researcher Laurent Gaffie unveiled a new unpatched bug in Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 that, when exploited, locks up the system, requiring a total shutdown to regain control. In the absence of a patch, Microsoft recommends: Block TCP ports 139 and 445 at the firewall: These ports are used to initiate a connection with the affected component. Blocking TCP ports 139 and 445 at the firewall will help protect systems that are behind that firewall from attempts to exploit this vulnerability. Microsoft recommends that you block all SMB communications to and from the Internet to help prevent attacks
