Serious Problem with Windows MetaFile

Post by jolly_fat_man » Wed Jan 04, 2006 10:26 am

Thank you to all of those who decided to read this!

This is not me asking for help. It's a warning.

As Slashdot shows here

There is a big problem with these files. So don't open any files with the extension .wmf unless you are sure it is clean and safe.
I know i read this somewhere, and the official news is it is being investigated.
No fix yet. At least as far as i know.

For those of you using Linux a good laugh is all you need to do about this.

I could explain more, but I think they explain it better than i ever could.

I guess I should be glad it was posted in good faith, even if a little behind the curve.

As mentioned, already handled. Thanks, though.
If I show up at your door, chances are you did something to bring me there.
