Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/WMF Security Hole Patch Now Available

Do it. Now.

For those who have lived under a rock for the past week: this is a *major* flaw that affects all versions of windows from windows 3.0 through 2003. It was a zero-day exploit, meaning that it has been found in the wild before a fix was available from microsoft. Simply viewing a malicious .WMF (or more dangerously, a .WMF renamed to .JPG) to execute whatever embedded code they want on your computer. According to some reports there have been tons of spam messages and hundreds of malicious websites abusing this hole for the past week. Close it, while you still can!
