IE7 0-Day in the wild today. The proof of concept code is available on Milw0rm site.

SANS has a write up on the 0-Day that “is *not* patched with MS08-073 that was released yesterday. I can confirm that the exploit works in a fully patched Windows XP machine.”

From Milw0rm:

// k`sOSe 12/10/2008 – tested on winxp sp3, explorer 7.0.5730.13

// windows/exec – 141 bytes
// http://www.metasploit.com
