MS Patch Coming Tuesday for ANI Cursor Vulnerability

Via The Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC).

We have some new information tonight on the status of the security update that we’re working on that addresses the vulnerability in Windows Animated Cursor Handling.

From our ongoing monitoring of the situation, we can say that over this weekend attacks against this vulnerability have increased somewhat. Additionally, we are aware of public disclosure of proof-of-concept code. In light of these points, and based on customer feedback, we have been working around the clock to test this update and are currently planning to release the security update that addresses this issue on Tuesday April 3, 2007.

I want to note that we are testing still and will be up until the release, to ensure the highest quality possible. So, it’s possible that we will find an issue that will force us to delay the release. If we do find an issue, though, we will let you know through the MSRC weblog as soon as we know.
