Exploit Code Appears for MS Graphics Flaw

Just a week after Microsoft released a patch to plug a security flaw in the way at least 13 of its programs handle the JPEG imaging format, code appeared on the Internet on Wednesday showing how to exploit those holes. Though this exploit code alone is not a threat, it will likely be a jumping-off point for the next round of PC attacks.

The proof-of-concept code demonstrates the ability to execute commands through the JPEG exploit and, if altered, could allow infected PCs to be controlled by attackers.
