Microsoft has released a security advisory for a vulnerability in how Windows renders graphics, and an exploit has already been published to the Internet.
Microsoft has released a workaround that is somewhat complicated,(so complicated that the KB link is broken at the time of this posting.)
Probably the best way to protect yourself is to avoid opening unsolicited emails with attachments (which is always a good idea anyway.) There's no ETA on a patch for the bug.
