It seems like the vulnerability is already exploited in the wild:

Bleeding Edge Threats made available Snort rule that detects some (all?)
exploits using this vulnerability:
http://www.bleedingthreats.net/index.php/2007/03/30/ms-ani-exploit-rule-details-emerging/

I don't know if this rule detects all possible exploits or just one
particular type. Here is a Firekeeper version of the rule, which can
be used to detect sites hosting malicious files:

alert (msg:"BLEEDING-EDGE CURRENT EVENTS MS ANI exploit"; body_content:"|54 53 49 4C 03 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 54 53 49 4C 04 00 00 00 02 02 02 02 61 6E 69 68 52|"; reference:url,http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?storyid=2534; reference:url,http://www.avertlabs.com/research/blog/?p=233; reference:url,doc.bleedingthreats.net/2003519; fid:2003519; rev:1;)


Rule is triggered for example by the following images:
