Analysts Fret as Adware Makers Leverage WMF Flaw
David Morgenstern writes in eWeek:
Exploits of the WMF (Windows Metafile Format) flaw continued on Thursday as advertising networks took advantage of the vulnerability to spread their "products."
Several security lists and Weblogs warned that the Exfol adware network was presenting coded WMF images on rotating banner ads.
Researchers said that sites running pop-up advertisements from the network will infect viewers with vulnerable systems.
