Security Alert Update
Microsoft became aware of attacks on some customers involving a security
vulnerability in the Windows Meta File (WMF) code area in the Windows platform. Windows Meta Files are image files used by popular applications such as Microsoft Word. Exploits have typically been used to install spyware and adware, although the threat of virus and worm exploits exists. Users can be infected simply by visiting a web site with an image file containing the WMF exploit. Microsoft is urging customers to be cautious when opening e-mail and links in e-mail from untrusted sources. They further encouraged customers to keep anti-virus software up-to-date. 1/5/06 Microsoft has released a patch for the Windows WMF flaw today in response to consumer inquiries. Earlier reports suggest Microsoft was not releasing this patch until the 10th. Windows Meta File (WMF) vulnerability patch for Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 These following software updates can be found HERE for the following O.S Microsoft Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 and Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for Itanium-based Systems and Microsoft Windows Server 2003 with SP1 for Itanium-based Systems Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition
