I installed SP2 on several machines on my domain am monitoring closely for application issues. We all know it is enabled on Network and Dial-up adapters by default. It does have File and Printer Sharing enabled on the protected Network connections after install. I however don't see this as an exploit or bug, but just another detail to remember to check if you don't want it enabled after install. I think the editors just poorly explained the article or jumped the gun too quickly.

This article in pc-welt was brought to my attention yesterday, and I just have no idea what they are talking about. It is like the entire piece is totally bogus-- has anyone seen anything about this?
I think you're right. I read through the first two lines of the SP2 "issue"...this "certain configuration" they're talking about is essentially allowing file and printer sharing, even with the f/w enabled. Uh...duh! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
