As a follow up to my recent comments on the Windows DNS server vulnerability announced last week, I stumbled accross a blog entry at Microsoft Security Response Center Blog in which Christopher Budd of Microsoft hopes that they will be able to patch up the Windows DNS server vulnerability by May 8 2007 along with their May monthly bulletin release.

Of course, this is only unofficial speculation at this stage, as Microsoft has not officially committed to any specific release date. However, I suppose it’s good to know the time frame in which they hope to solve this problem: as the fix is still several weeks away, please be proactive in your efforts to secure your DNS servers. Simply crossing your fingers and hoping for the best won’t make this security threat go away.
