(*): ISC rating
- We use 4 levels:
- PATCH NOW: Typically used where we see immediate danger of exploitation. Typical environments will want to deploy these patches ASAP. Workarounds are typically not accepted by users or are not possible. This rating is often used when typical deployments make it vulnerable and exploits are being used or easy to obtain or make.
- Critical: Anything that needs little to become "interesting" for the dark side. Best approach is to test and deploy ASAP. Workarounds can give more time to test.
- Important: Things where more testing and other measures can help.
- Less Urt practices for servers such as not using outlook, MSIE, word etc. to do traditional office or leisure work.
- The rating is not a risk analysis as such. It is a rating of importance of the vulnerability and the perceived or even predicted threatatches.

I was reviewing Microsoft's summary and saw the same thing. I concur, it should be raised at a minimum for workstations. Internally, we are rating it as critical.

From their site.
How do I use PuTTY with my Eclipse server?
Download and run putty.exe
Enter your server’s Host Name (or IP address)
Select either SSH (preferred, secure, works some AIX servers and all RHEL servers) or Telnet (insecure, works with all Eclipse servers)
Optionally, you may give the session a name and Save for future connections
Select Open to launch the telnet/ssh session
Enter your root login credentials
(AIX only) Set the terminal type:

If that is the case, there will be quite a few Windows boxes with a telnet service installed and running.
