As reported in this News.com, the latest security problem is in the way Microsoft’s Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Internet Explorer, Office and other programs open JPEG (aka. JPG) images. An attacker could (in theory) create a malformed that can run a program when it is viewed on a computer.
However, if you have got Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed, then you are secure from this vunerability. Let’s hope that everybody have got enough time to download and install SP2 before this vunerability is beginning to be misused. If you want to download Windows XP SP2 full installation package fast, then see my old post on the subject.
