Microsoft to Patch WMF Exploit Early

Posted by CmdrTaco on Thursday January 5, 2006 @08:56AM from the well-i-guess-early-is-relative dept.

Chran writes "Microsoft has just announced that they will release a security update for the .WMF-exploit today at 2pm ET, instead of Tuesday, as originally planned. Microsoft writes: "Microsoft originally planned to release the update on Tuesday, January 10, 2006 as part of its regular monthly release of security bulletins, once testing for quality and application compatibility was complete. However, testing has been completed earlier than anticipated and the update is ready for release. In addition, Microsoft is releasing the update early in response to strong customer sentiment that the release should be made available as soon as possible."

Well the funnt thing is that this exploit only affects Internet Explorer as well. Si basically what they are saying is:

'In order to patch for this exploit, please first make yourself vulnerable for a solid kick to the nads.'
