Full Disclosure: TCP ports 1025-1030 and DCOM exploit

["Edward W. Ray" <support () mmicman com>]

I have found that the RPC service in Windows also uses TCP ports 1025-1030
for communication with domain controllers (DCs).  I found this out by
accident by blocking ports in my Windows 2003 domain and observing failed
RPC connectivity using netdiag command on clients.  I also observed attempts
at connection on TCP port 1025.

Once I added TCP port 1025 to my list of allowed ports and ran netdiag, a
connection on the DC port 1025 and the client (higher port number) was
established.

Is this another possible attack vector?  I have not had time to test it
myself, which is why I am asking.
