WFM Patch

January 3, 2006

This new Windows metafile vulnerability is a pretty nasty one. And while Microsoft has at least acknowledged the problem, they haven't really done much about it.

Sure, you can unregister the bad .dll file, but that is only a band aid. And not a cool Snoopy band aid, either. An individual has come up with a patch for the problem that gets rid of the vulnerability for good.

And while this vulnerability does effect every Windows operating system since Jesus, the patch and unregistering the .dll doesn't really work for Windows 98 or ME systems. Those users need to cross their fingers and pray. Or, alternatively, not get online.

I knew I should have grabbed the patch this weekend for the office because the original site appears to be down, but Weekend Valette doesn't like to do Work Valette's job. I've got the patch mirrored.
