JPEG Vulnerability: To Panic or Not
Vmyths.com- Truth About Computer Virus Myths & Hoaxes
I’m glad that there’s a voice of reason out there, and I think it’s prudent to take an approach somewhere between screaming for panic and ignoring the situation. The JPEG buffer overflow is going to be an issue in the near future, but how big of an issue has yet to be seen. It’s worth taking note of and preparing for, but not something to take drastic measures to mitigate. Save the drastic measures for when a virus or worm actually rears it’s ugly head.
