A friend recently asked me about a security news released by Microsoft: MS08-001: Vulnerability in TCP/IP could allow remote code execution. I did some searches on the Web and want to share my search results with you:

Description by McAfee - MS08-001 is a vulnerability present in Microsoft Windows that may allow for arbitrary code execution. The flaw resides in improper processing of IGMPv3 and MLDv2 traffic by TCP/IP in the Windows kernel. Successful exploitation is available to a remote unauthenticated attacker.
