Microsoft says:
"It really was an inadvertent thing that happened," Fry Wilson said. "We have the security update on a fast track...(and) somebody accidentally posted a prerelease version on a community site. It has been taken down, and we don't recommend customers use it--it is not the version that we will be releasing on Tuesday."
Sunbelt says during testing of this patch that even though the Windows Picture and Fax viewer shows up, the vulnerability is not exploited.

The patch is still scheduled for release on patch Tuesday, next week.
