Microsoft Security Bulletin MS06-073 - Vulnerability in Visual Studio 2005 Could Allow Remote Code Execution (925674)

This bulletin covers another critical vulnerability in the WMI object broker ActiveX control which is installations of Visual Studio 2005 therefore this is primarily a vulnerability for developer workstations but note that the exploit details are public and being exploited in actual attacks. Therefore I recommend immediately either setting the killbit on the control or deploying the patch. You can use the class ID in this security bulletin and my nifty ADM file to set the kill bit via group policy. Click here fore details on the ADM file.
