Attacks all versions of Windows shipped since 1990.

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

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)
