Microsoft released a "Fix-it" to help administrators deal with DLL loading problems believed to be affecting scores of applications.

The new solution comes roughly a week after Microsoft released a security advisory on the issue. Along with the Fix-it, the company also pledged to address any DLL loading issues in its own software.

"First, I want to be clear that Microsoft plans to address those of our products affected by this issue in the most appropriate way for customers," blogged Jerry Bryant, group manager of MSRC (Microsoft Security Response Center) communications. "This will primarily be in the form of security updates or defense-in-depth updates. Also, due to the fact that customers need to click through a series of warnings and dialogs to open a malicious file, we rate most of these vulnerabilities as important."
