You still have to be careful...

Just days after Microsoft rushed out a patch to fix a critical Windows flaw related to the processing of Windows Meta File images, two more problems with the component were flagged.

Avaya Products Microsoft Windows WMF "SETABORTPROC" Vulnerability

mouser:
ok this is fascinating:
listen to the mp3 or read the transcript of this new discussion that the vulnerability could have been a planted backdoor:

(direct link to mp3 -> http://media.grc.com/sn/SN-022.mp3)

note: we've been discussing grc and steve gibson here in another thread, so take this with a real grain of salt; but expect there to be a lot of controversy over this.

f0dder:
Mr. Gibson is such a sensationalist. I'm reading the transcript of the MP3, and all I see is "LOOK AT ME LOOK AT ME". And it sounds like he, as usual, isn't really understanding what's going on - *sigh*

mouser:
it will be extremely interesting to hear the next episode of the mp3 show.
fodder you should listen to it on mp3 - it's clear that his cohost realizes the gravity of what he's accusing microsoft of doing and keeps offering him the opportunity to back down but he never does.. you have to give him some credit for sticking his neck out so far on something that's going to get a lot of push back.
