> A vulnerability exists in the Microsoft Windows implementation of NetBIOS
in Windows 95, 98, NT, 2000. Remote users can insert and flush dynamic cache
entries and overwrite static entries. This enables a malicious user to
change the IP address assigned to a NetBIOS Name. A workaround is to block
TCP and UDP ports 135-139 and 445 on your firewall or router.
