Microsoft has just released an out-of-cycle security patch to address a vulnerability in Windows’ handling of animated cursor [ANI] files that allows hackers to inject malicious code into vulnerable systems. The release is rated ‘Critical’ and has been brought forward from the scheduled ‘Patch Tuesday’ update on 10 April because Microsoft believes there’s an increased risk of attack to its customers.
