Attacks all versions of Windows shipped since 1990.

Actually Windows XP and 2003. That's large part of systems, though.

Community to the rescue: Unofficial fix for the vulnerability

The WMF patch is out!
Security Update for Windows XP (KB912919)
Use your windows update to get it.

And remember: If you installed wmffix_hexblog14.exe earlier, remove it before updating...

(I don't know if the unofficial patch can conflict, but it's better be safe than sorry)
