An exploit for the zero-day vulnerability hit the wild last week, more than three months after Microsoft learned of the bug. Microsoft says it took more than three months to craft the patch..
Microsoft was first alerted to the .ANI vulnerability back in December, but a patch for it didn't come before exploits began hitting the wild last week.
Mark Miller, director of the Microsoft Security Response Center, said on Monday that the company needed the three-plus months to work on building and testing a good patch. Since the exploit hit last week, he said slightly less than 100 Microsoft technicians have been working "around the clock" to ready the patch.
