.ANI Patch Update

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to give a heads up regarding the .ANI patch.  We have noticed a bypass for our patch posted to milw0rm.  We have since updated the patch to protect from this bypass and version 1.1 was available April 1.

Also, be sure to cancel any plans you had for Tuesday as Microsoft is releasing an out-of-band patch for this vulnerability.  Since this will be affecting all supported Windows platforms (including Vista) administrators can look forward to two fun Patch Tuesdays in a row.
