Steve Gibson's WMF Backdoor & Mousetrap

Since I bought my iPod I've been sampling a few of the technology podcasts that are available in the iTunes music store. One of them being "Security Now" with Steve Gibson from GRC.com. I found the recent episodes (22 and 23) about the WMF vulnerability quite entertaining.

Steve's opinion: The recently announced WMF vulnerability is a backdoor intentionally created by a programmer at Microsoft. He's dubbed the exploit M.I.C.E (Metafile Image Code Execution) and created a vulnerability testing utility, called "MouseTrap" :-)
