I just tried to update using the link in your post and got version 4.22 of EXIF and FORMATS, and 4.20 for NERO.

Anybody else checked versions on these files?

Edit:

www.irfanview.com/plugins.htm, the link Exidor posted has the new stuff.
Well i guess you didn't look hard enough.

The fix is to update to version 4.23. According to the Infranview website the current Plugins is still only at 4.22 while the program itself is at 4.23.

Am I missing something? It appears the Plugins update to 4.23 is not available yet. Unless they simply updated some of the modules in 4.22 with the later 4.23 versions.

Edit: Ok I think I see now. It's the Formats Plugin that needs to be updated. The full 4.22 Plugin archive includes the updated 4.23 Formats Plugin. Jeesh how confusing! lol

Edit2: Nope...you have to download the Formats Plugin separately. :D ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22203780 Wed, 08 Apr 2009 11:02:29 EDT Re: Irfan View plugin vulnerability - fix available http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22203276 RWild : I just tried to update using the link in your post and got version 4.22 of EXIF and FORMATS, and 4.20 for NERO.

Thanks to you, many people will now get the heads up. So many people use that program and proabably wouldn't have known about it otherwise. Thank you, even though I nn longer use it.
I am one of those folks. Happened to see this thread title on the ticker from the front page.
