[koc]

Our security reporter send us a mail about Windows GDI Interface Buffer
Overflow Vulnerability in last mounth.There isn't any patch for this
vulnerability .But a workaround solve this security problem according to my
reporter.This workaround is :

Turn off metafile processing by modifying the registry.
Under registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\GRE_Initialize
create a DWORD entry "DisableMetaFiles" and set it to 1.


Can you tell me this workaround is true and trustable ? and what do you
think about this security vulnerability? Thanks
