They have not fixed it, and the developer says he won't.

I guess you didn't read all the way to the end of TFA, where it states that both vulnerabilities were addressed in v16.00. Also, see Igor Pavlov's reply to a post on this exact question in the v16.00 announcement, where he explicitly states that both bugs have been fixed in v16.00. So your second assertion, "the developer says he won't", is false. To be fair, I haven't seen confirmation of the fix by independent security researchers, so if you have support for your first assertion, "They have not fixed it", I'm sure we'd all be interested in seeing it.

He gave some excuse about not being able to tell what the target of the drop point was until the extraction was done. I believe it was bullshit in 2010, and it's almost certainly bullshit now.

Your link is to some problem with how Windows Explorer reports drag-and-drop targets to the source application. From the Talos analysis, the two vulnerabilities in question appear to be unrelated to Windows Explorer drag-and-drop. Did you link to the wrong old post?

I haven't manually coded a Windows Explorer drag-and-drop in nearly a decade, so I don't remember enough about it to tell if Igor's response in your link qualifies as "bullshit". Normally, I would go refresh my knowledge of the relevant COM interfaces, but your post already appears to be off base, so I'd say the onus is on you to cite the MSDN documentation supporting your accusation of "bullshit".

As usual, I'm right! Hosts stop this malvertiser working blocking its C&C domains of wizzuniquify.com, wizztraksys.com, auhazard.com .

Proof's RIGHT here http://blog.talosintel.com/201... from the security research itself on it...

P.S.=> You know something? You moron AC trolls are REALLY "reaching" now, aren't you?? Telling utter lies really "takes the cake"... what a pitiful pack of idiots! apk

The blog post gives some information on this, including the "no EULA" bit as well.

The link to TALOS is in the article. http://blog.talosintel.com/201... Go read it. Course forgot this is Slashdot, most do not read beyond the summary........

Unfortunately, fonts aren't just data. This blog post details the exploit, basically a malicious font can compromise the TTF virtual machine.
