As I attempt to play catch up I found this article in my inbox. Apparently Outlook 2003’s client is susceptible to the recent VML bug.
The vulnerability can be triggered when IE or Outlook 2003 processes Web-based graphics code written in the Vector Markup Language (VML). It was first reported Monday by researchers at Sunbelt Software.Attackers have not yet begun exploiting the e-mail attack, but a handful of Web sites now serve the code, and hackers have publicly posted software that exploits the vulnerability.
Please bear in mind that this article was originally posted on September 21st. So, I would wager that this now being actively exploited by this time. Be sure to apply common sense when opening emails.
