Unfortunately this is from Microsoft's main web page, just click on the
"Critical Update" in the upper right corner of the page.

I'm still trying to figure out how a virus can hide in a JPEG?

Every single JPEG (or other graphic format) vulnerability that I have heard
of has been a hoax (including the one that McAfee sent out press releases
about).  One involved hiding information in the graphic (which is
relatively easy to do, and has been known for years), and if you already
are infected with a virus, you can get new viruses delivered via the
graphic.

I haven't heard about this one yet, however, if it is a new one.
