Windows WMF Exploit

Security Now Notes on WMF Exploit There is a “feature” in the Windows WMF format that allows the execution of arbitary code. It has been there since the beginning (at least 10 years) but only now is coming to light. It is extremely likely that exploitation of this hole will grow. It is also likely that this hole has been used in the past but has not been publicised. A patch is available now from MS Windows Update. Patch your system, update your virus and spyware scanners.
