A 0-day exploit within the msVidCtl component of Microsoft DirectShow is actively being exploited through drive-by attacks using thousands of newly compromised web sites, according to CSIS. The code has been published in the public domain via a number of Chinese web sites.

Please keep a watchful eye on your AV and IDS/IPS vendors updates to ensure coverage as early as possible on this exploit as it is likely to be widely deployed with the code being available.
