Ilfak Guilfanov, well known in "reverse engineering" circles for his wildly popular IDA Disassembler, needed a temporary patch for his own system due to the seriousness of the WMF vulnerability.

Thanks for the heads-up, Alex. And thanks for the link, bluemoney. I just took the plunge and installed Mr. Guilfanov's temporary hotfix since who the hell knows when Bill Gates' boys will react to this thing. My system rebooted fine and everything seems good, but my bedroom wallpaper is now hideous. Don't know how that happened.

Look on the positive side UW! Now you have the “perfect” background to shoot some content.

"The company (Microsoft) could not be reached on Monday for comment."

Sounds about right. Anybody else old enough to remember when this happened before with Postscript files back in the dawn of time?

Was just coming to post this link myself. Patch works perfectly. Anybody that doesn't have GRC link in his/her Favorites file should add it. Security god and a really good guy!
