Already posted here but that's OK. Anyway, the workaround might interfere with the way TrueType fonts are displayed in applications, so "customers with non-English versions of Microsoft Windows should reevaluate the applicability of the revised workaround for their environment". But since Microsoft considers the vulnerability risk "Limited" no proper patch will be released next week and, as I mentioned before, now that "hackers" know that is something wrong with the T2embed.dll they might take a peek and release their own malware that takes advantage of the vulnerability.

A workaround is good but I would rather see a patch...
