Internet Security Shitfit: WMF Exploit “worst infection in history”

Seems like all the geeks on the web are up in arms over a possible security exploit in Windows Media Files:

There is a new danger floating around the Internet right now, a zero-day exploit taking advantage of the Windows Media Format (WMF) vulnerability. Its not limited to WMF files, it is taking the shape of images as well. This exploit is currently billed as the worst infection in history. It can hide rootkits, it can even hide itself.

Not one to cry wolf, seems like this is legit. I would suggest installing the temporary fix until Microsoft unviels an official patch. Keep in mind that when MS does get around to doing this, you’ll need to uninstall the fix (which will be in the "Add or Remove Programs" as "Windows WMF Metafile Vulnerability HotFix") before installing the official one.

Update: Is this legit? Try a Google News Search for "Windows WMF Metafile Vulnerability HotFix" and see for yourself.
