We had previously identified these issues as part of our ongoing code maintenance and are evaluating them for inclusion in the next service pack .

We're still investigating, but we have confirmed this vulnerability and I am writing a Microsoft ( Profile , Products , Articles ) Security Advisory on this. We will address it in a security update.

As it turns out, these crashes are not exploitable but are instead Windows performance issues that could cause some WMF applications to unexpectedly exit. These issues do not allow an attacker to run code or crash the operating system. They may cause the WMF application to crash, in which case the user may restart the application and resume activity.

In order to keep the code churn in security updates to a minimum, we try to avoid, as a general rule, including other code fixes for performance issues such as this.

And I remember that the editors wanted to have a witness to say that this was really the case, because it was a very sharp picture of the just the face, the head of the fetus inside the womb.

There is a new way with very very tiny fiber optics, which give an enormous high resolution. There are many many thousand fibers, very very close together with a very small diameter.
