WinXP SP1 (fully patched) german is vuln to AN00010_.wmf
explorer.exe hogs 100% cpu speed.

I can confirm that my WinXP SP1 (ITALIAN) fully patched
except for these two updates :

    KB832894 - MS04-004 (%01 vuln in URL string)
    KB828028 - MS04-007 (ASN.1 library bug)

is vuln. to malformed EMF and WMF files.

EXPLORER.EXE goes to 99% CPU usage during preview/rendering of malformed
images.

I've tried to attach a .WMF in a mail message and also Outlook Express
is vuln.; when user receives an email message, OE try to display preview of
images and hang up. Killing OE will not cause any problem to EXPLORER.EXE.
