Title: WMF patch
Post by: blobrana on January 03, 2006, 10:08:50 PM

The unofficial patch for  the latest  Windows Metafiles (WMF) vulnerability:

No patch from Microsoft  exists at this time , the latest release date is January 10th, and the exploit is arranged in such a manner that it cannot be detected by most intrusion detection systems  nor filtered by packet-inspecting firewalls.

Firefox users may want to add  the Adblock extension, add filter, *.wmf, to stop some of the vulnerability.

However, Windoze users can download an unofficial patch now... before you get caught out.
