I think it's safe to say it's been patched up now :dry:

heres a tool to scan and fix them

never experienced it

i was googling for more info and found the code you can run to make them... google is dangerous

Did anyone of you ever see that huge.jpg pic that floted around a couple of months ago?

/me has it :D

they're pretty easy to make

just a 10,000 x 10,000 px image

I had a play about with the code for that exploit and found norton corp instantly caught any jpeg that i made and this was on the same day that reg article was posted.
