Several malicious websites that exploit the VML vulnerability have been found. Microsoft has addressed this issue in a patch released September 26. Additionally, the 0-Day vulnerability in Microsoft Word initially discovered and exploited in the wild on September 1 remains unpatched. Malware exploiting the Server Service vulnerability (patched in MS06-040) is actively being developed and released. This malware can be deployed without user interaction. |

An unpatched or recently patched vulnerability can be exploited by a worm, and systems worldwide are at risk to be targeted by a particular worm. No worm activity has been identified.
A high incidence of new malware that potentially can cause damage has been reported. |

These include the WebViewFolderIcon setSlice vulnerability originally reported as a denial of service on July 18th, a Microsoft Word 0-Day from September 2 and a Microsoft PowerPoint 0-Day from September 26. Of particular concern is the WebViewFolderIcon setSlice vulnerability that McAfee Avert Labs began detecting in-the-wild exploitation of on September 30. In addition, the previously patched Vector Markup Language vulnerability (MS06-055) and the Server Service vulnerability (MS06-040) continue to be exploited. |
