I just had a raft of updates through from Microsoft for their Patch Tuesday
and noticed that one of the security patches affects VFP. Anyone got any
further details?

I didn't think that VFP used any of the standard controls, having them all
encoded within VFP itself.

"Redmond classifies six of the octet as critical, while independent security
watchers reckon they all make the highest security grade. Worst of the bunch
is an update for ActiveX controls that affects Visual Basic 6.0's runtime
(MS08-070.
The buffer overflow risk affects Visual Studio, Foxpro, Frontpage and MS
Project, along with third party apps that make use of the affected
component. Worse still exploit code has been doing the rounds since April."

Can anyone elucidate out there - that's elucidate NOT hallucinate!
