2006 01 04: Where do you want to go today?
By now you should have heard about the wmf exploits for Windows.
First seen by me December 23th on an obscure pr0n site.
Saved it, examined it (on a GNU/Linux machine), I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to do untill the vulnerability in Windows was made public December 28 by Microsoft.
But Microsoft finaly updated it and put it on the frontpage yesterday.
Ah.. So it's our own fault for surfing to 'unsafe' sites if we get infected in the mean time..
Whatever happened to Where do you want to go today?
Or the new slogan Start something new
I do like: Get more from your home PC than ever before.
So true..
I'm still laughing about the 10 reasons to install SP2..
So the link for today: isc.sans.org
Which allways has up to date information on current web based threads..
If you got a popup stating DllUnregisterServer in shimgvw.dll succeeded.
You have been partially patched by an anti exploit exploit.
To reregister the dll, Start -> Run regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
Go to Irongeek's homepage for more info.


If you got an 'antivirus' warning stating it is some WMF exploit..
Yes.. It is an anti-WMF-exploit exploit..
