Ooooh, I just read on Wikipedia about a vulnerability in how Windows reads WMF files.

The reason why I find this so interesting is because apparently the vulnerability exists versions of Windows all the way back to 3.0! Doesn’t that mean that a serious bug that allows malicious code to be executed has actually existed for 15 years without being exploited? That has to be some sort of record.
