According to Microsoft: "On Tuesday, December 27, 2005, Microsoft became aware of public reports of attacks on some customers that exploit a vulnerability in the Windows Meta File (WMF) code area in the Windows platform. Upon learning of the attacks, Microsoft mobilized under its Software Security Incident Response Process (SSIRP) to analyze the attack, assess its scope and determine the appropriate guidance for customers, as well as to engage with anti-virus partners and law enforcement."

"Microsoft’s goal is to release an update on Tuesday, January 10, 2006, to fix this vulnerablilty . . . In addition, attacks exploiting the WMF vulnerability are being effectively mitigated by anti-virus companies with up-to-date signatures."

"Users should take care not to visit unfamiliar or untrusted Web sites that could potentially host the malicious code."
