IE/Windows users: beware of jpeg images

[jernst]

Code that claims to partially exploit a weakness in Microsoft software's handling of image files has been published on the Internet. The critical security hole allows a remote attacker to create a JPEG image that, when viewed in Microsoft software programs, could allow the hacker to gain control of the computer.

Fortunately it seems that a fix hasbeen released by Microsoft this time.
