I havent seen any talk about this particular exploit, but it concerns me more so that someone who posts it in a forum or creates an Ebay auction can crash Windows with little effort.

Create an HTML page with the following code:

IMG src="http://stb.msn.com/i/D2/D28DB9CFDCCEE8A44CE0A8118D75BFA1.jpg" height="9999999" width="9999999

Add brackets of course to the line above.

Save the HTML and run it. It will crash Windows and is not browser dependent. It crashed both IE and FF.

Anyone know of a patch for this?
