The Windows Metafile Vulnerability

Just when you think the only trouble you can get from vieweing pictures on your computer is getting caught by your boss while viewing pics deemed NSFW (or worse, getting caught by your wife), here comes the Windows Metafile (WMF) exploit.
Just any attempt to display images, even those teensy thumbnails (info on which are actually contained in the WMF) makes you vulnerable. You don’t even have to click on anything to be infected. Just viewing an image on a website or inline in an email message makes you vulnerable.
