    As far as the AutoCAD patch, I do not think their 2004 and previous
    versions are affected. Don't have 2005 to test it. The dll version
    5.1.3097.0 is the same in (Win2k) %windir%\system32 and Program
    Files\AutoCAD 2004. As win2k is not by itself affected by the JPEG vuln,
    I am going to assume that the same version DLL in AutoCAD is not
    vulnerable. The versions of the dll I have seen that are replaced after
    windows update/GDI+ Tool are 5.1.3097.3 and above.

    Sorry to flood your inboxes, but this exploit seems a likely candidate
    for a worm like infection with the possibility of distributing it via
    email, IM (Buddy Icons?), or web page. I am prone to over-react though.

    Either way Jimmy Lehmkuhl wrote a nice API call that looks for dll
    versions, we are packaging it with the Patchlink PDK and a script to
    replace affected versions. We can now replace older versions (5.1.3097.3
    and up) wherever they may lie. Much better than MS's patch IMHO :)

    P.s.:
    It is worth noting that if you install all patches via windows update,
    including the "recommended update" of .net 1.1, you then need to update
    .net's GDI+ dll after a reboot.
