It is not dangerous if you install the update. Why is the headline hyping it as if it's an unpatched zero day?

- EllieAsksWhy 15y agoSigh, agreed. The Microsoft TechNet article in the link is dated 13 September 2011. AND it says that this is no longer a problem for users who installed the update, issued several days ago! So yes, this is a very misleading headline. Regarding the content of the security advisory, it specifically says THIS (although the WebDAV site details are there after quite a bit of digging around): "The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if a user opens a legitimate rich text format file (.rtf), text file (.txt), or Word document (.doc) that is located in the same network directory as a specially crafted dynamic link library (DLL) file. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain the same user rights as the local user."
