Microsoft released a patch for the WMF flaw days before its scheduled date on Patch Tuesday. Details on the update are available in a Microsoft Security Bulletin (MS06-001) published today.
In the corresponding security advisory (912840), the company set a goal to have a fix ready by January 10th. However, the severity of the flaw, the existence of exploit code online and the popularity of a non-official patch seem to have sped things along.
