Security researchers have seen attackers going after the newly patched CVE-2012-0003 vulnerability in the Windows Media Player. The flaw, which was patched earlier this month by Microsoft, is a critical one that can enable remote code execution. Researchers at the IBM ISS X-Force have seen malicious attacks against the vulnerability going on in the wild in recent days. Because exploitation of the flaw is not considered difficult, there may well be more on the horizon, researchers say. The relatively low complexity of locating the vulnerability will doubtlessly lead to more malware targeting it, they say.
