A new article on SecurityFocus regarding the recent WMF exploit. I've personally played with the metasploit package for this but haven't had time to check out the updated signatures for various vendors (F-Secure, ISS, Trend, etc). Out of curiousity has anyone done any testing against the new signatures to determine if they are code specific or if tricks like tagging %0%0 in the payload bypasses them? Zero-day holiday by Kelly Martin 2006-01-04 A few hundred million Windows XP machines lay vulnerable on the Web today, a week after a zero-day exploit was discovered. Meanwhile, new approaches and ideas from the academic world - that focus exclusively on children - may give us hope for the future after all. http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/377 -- Erin Carroll "Do Not Taunt Happy-Fun Ball" -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
