This update will take care of the .ani vulnerability that is spreading via websites and links. This will be an out of band release, not the normal patch cycle because of the potential seriousness of the problem.

The fix will be delivered as a "high priority" update alongside Microsoft's regular security updates, Christopher Budd, a Microsoft security staffer wrote on a corporate blog on Friday.

Microsoft has identified three additional applications that conflict with last week's "critical" MS07-017 security update.

Prior to the Microsoft patch released on Tuesday, the ANI cursor flaw put users of most supported versions of Windows and Windows Server, including Windows Vista, at risk of attackers taking control of their system. However, users running Windows Vista and Internet Explorer 7 in protect mode should be safe from the ANI exploit, even on unpatched systems.

Microsoft Defends ANI Patch Delay

Hi, I have just installed Vista Ultimate (clean install) and it seemed OK but I cannot use the Microsoft Update. I have turned on Automatic Update but each time it closes with the following error:Problem signature: Problem Event...

I just did a Microsoft Update and it said 5 completed successfully and 3 not needed. And for the status for the last updates installed says it failed.
