Attention system administrators, this one is for you:
Ilfak Guilfanov has now released version 1.4 of the WMF Hotfix patch which can be deployed by system administrators across the network. The new version of the WMF exploit checker can also be implemented in a batch process to check these same networks computers.
WMF Hotfix
WMF Exploit Checker
Full silent mode is available now and I'm sure will be used in logon scripts. To run the hotfix in silentmode:
wmffix_hexblog14.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES
A sample batch script has been provided by Ilfak to check systems:
@echo off
rem Batch for to illustrate how to
rem use wmf_checker in the silent mode
wmf_checker_hexblog /SILENT
if errorlevel 2 goto bad_error
if errorlevel 1 goto vulnerable
echo You system seems to be invulnerable
goto end
:vulnerable
echo You system is VULNERABLE! Please
echo install the fix from http://www.hexblog.com
goto end
:bad_error
echo Something bad happened to the checker
goto end
:end
Keep up the excellent work Ilfak and for being so quick during the Net's time of need.
