ISS has released an XPU 2425, that they recommend to apply to your
servers.
MS will respond to the threat with a patch on January the 10th.
There is a released fix "not officially approved" for this issue.
Symantec is working to send a .DAT by the time MS approved and test its
patch.
I've test some tagging fixes but nothing that a rename payload of the
WMF file can bypass, still trying to isolate the GDI32.dll so that way
the vector doesn't exploit vulnerabilities...
Anybody else did some more testing on this?

Thanks.

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

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.
