A researcher has discovered a zero-day flaw in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 that could be exploited to remotely crash a computer. Microsoft is aware of the hole and is currently working on a patch. The recommended quick-fix is to disable TCP ports 139 and 445.

"Microsoft is concerned that this new report of a vulnerability was not responsibly disclosed, potentially putting computer users at risk," the advisory said. "We continue to encourage responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities."
