Yup, once I saw the SANS writeups I came to the same conclusion. So there's nothing
really new in the client-side exploit and what's happening on the server hasn't been
figured out yet, right? And it sounds like if you're up to date on patches and antivirus
you're probably protected against the client-side exploit.
