By

Microsoft have already release a update already. The “flaw” affects Windows inbuit firewall. It seems to be possible to create a rule to open ports which will not show up in the standard user interface. The attacker would need admin rights to change affected regisrty entries.

Microsoft Security Advisory (897663) has more info.

A flaw in Windows Firewall may prevent users from seeing all the open network ports on a Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 computer.
