Microsoft Network Share Provider SMB Request Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

Solution:
It has been reported, by "Fabio Pietrosanti \(naif\)" <naif@blackhats.it>, that disabling the NetBIOS Null Session will prevent exploitation of this vulnerablity.

It is possible to reduce exposure to this issue by preventing port 445 from binding. On Windows 2000 systems, this can be accomplished with by removing the default value "\Device\" from the TransportBindName REG_SZ value from the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NetBT\Parameters

This system must be restarted for the registry changes to take effect.
