Hold your breath...Microsoft is finally issuing a patch for the WMF vulnerability which I wrote about here. According to just-updated Microsoft Security Advisory, the patch will be released on Tuesday, January 10, 2006.
If you have not turned on Automatic Updates on your Win XP/2000, please do so. Many exploits of this vulnerability have surfaced in the wild.
PS. For those who have followed the suggestion from Microsoft to de-register Shimgvw.dll, remember to re-register it before applying the patch. Procecure to re-register as follows:
Click Start, click Run, type “regsvr32 %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dll” (without the quotation marks), and then click OK.
