Normally I would wait and phase it in. But I have a very good security firm connection. They have seen the exploits already that are coming out and they are right this minute taking their systems down and patching them.

Anyone think taking a few days to deploy this patch in a phased approach is more dangerous than slamming it onto every system tonight and possibly having issues from the patch itself?

Its an RPC Worm Food Vuln people... Its sort of mitigated on Vista and
Windows Server 2008 because it needs an authenticated user, not Anon and I
just know we are all running Vista and K8...

Get to patching... Worms will likely be out before we see the sunrise
tomorrow. Lots of detail in the bulliten and of course the bad guys now have
the patch executable to reverse from if they didn't already know about this.

For those that say they are safe because they are firewalled off from the
internet... Let me chuckle a moment and then say patch anyway. ;o)

25 minute countdown on this... Hope everyone is paying attention. This is
definitely on the unusual side, a week after patch Tuesday... I expect we
will be scrambling to get this into place fast...

********************************************************************
Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for October 2008
Issued: October 22, 2008
********************************************************************

This is an advance notification of an out-of-band security bulletin that
Microsoft is intending to release on October 23, 2008.

The full version of the Microsoft Security Bulletin Advance Notification for
October 2008 can be found at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms08-oct.mspx.

This bulletin advance notification will be replaced with the revised October
bulletin summary on October 23, 2008. The revised bulletin summary will
include the out-of-band security bulletin as well as the security bulletins
already released on October 14, 2008.

For more information about the bulletin advance notification service, see
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/Bulletin/advance.mspx.

To receive automatic notifications whenever Microsoft Security Bulletins are
issued, subscribe to Microsoft Technical Security Notifications on
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/notify.mspx.

Microsoft will host a webcast to address customer questions on this
out-of-band security bulletin on October 23, 2008, at 1:00 PM Pacific Time
(US & Canada). Register for this out-of-band Security Bulletin Webcast at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/summary.mspx.

Microsoft also provides information to help customers prioritize monthly
security updates with any non-security, high-priority updates that are being
released on the same day as the monthly security updates. Please see the
section, Other Information.

This advance notification provides the software subject as the bulletin
identifier, because the official Microsoft Security Bulletin numbers are not
issued until release. The bulletin summary that replaces this advance
notification will have the proper Microsoft Security Bulletin numbers (in
the MSyy-xxx format) as the bulletin identifier. The security bulletins for
this month are as follows, in order of severity:
