Kinda funny. I found it out on my own then while I was typing it up other people are in the know at the same time. I did not go to unionseek or heard of it until other people were posting WMF file code execution

Except i'm wondering what the hell happened. They released a patch fixing metafile code execution, and two months later we have metafile code execution even with the said patch. Except this time it is actually in the wild.

"The issue may be exploited remotely or by a local attacker. Any code execution that occurs will be with SYSTEM privileges due to the nature of the affected engine."

Atleast in my testing, this does not appear to be the case. I think they are confusing the fact that most people run as admin, and once the code is executed it creates services that are run as SYSTEM. It for sure died in a restricted account.

I would be interested in see if someone with a spare machine can check if NAV actually catches and cleans this. I ran a manual liveupdate even though I already had 12/28 defs and found almost a dozen updates that auto LU hadn't applied. My confidence is low.

Edit: Yes, I've run it on MS VM and NAV picked it up.

Or do it in VMware.
