    Yup, yup yup.... This is a bad one.

    Let's hope that the virus idiots fail to exploit it as effectively as they failed to exploit the JPEG/JFIF exploit.

    Personally I would advocate disabiling WMF processing until further notice. When was the last time you used one anyhow?

    The patch is now out, either run it when asked, or run Windows Update to get it.

    Hopefully MS will now do a proper security review on their graphics core. This seems to be a popular attack area at the moment, in all major OSes.
