Microsoft patches bevy of GDI flaws

As promised, Microsoft today released an out-of-band update to correct a bevy of flaws in its Windows GDI implementation.
At least one of these flaws, which collectively affect all supported versions of Windows -- including Windows Vista -- has already been linked to a known zero day attack exploit. Microsoft last week confirmed that an attacker who successfully exploits a flaw in its Windows Animated Cursor Handling implementation can take complete control of a compromised Windows system.
