Perhaps you should read about it on Microsoft's site.
It's not a buffer overflow.  WMF files since at least Windows 
3.0 days have been allowed to carry executable code in the 
form of their own SetAbortProc handler.  This is perfectly 
legitimate, though the design is a poor one.  The only thing 
that has changed is the code that is being executed.

You are correct, that was my oversight in typing (minus the thinking).
No bufferoverflow ;)
