[beng () SECURITYFOCUS COM (Ben Greenbaum)]

Just a reminder, there are workarounds to solve this.
Cut-n-pasted from the vulnerability listing:

MDAC 2.1 includes the JET 4.0 driver which is not affected by this
 vulnerability. It is available for download at:
 http://www.microsoft.com/data/download.htm

 Also, Wanderley J. Abreu Jr. <storm () UNIKEY COM BR> has written a
 program that will search the registry and modify the EditFlags value for
 DocObjects file types, setting the Confirm Open After Download value to
 01. this means that these filetypes can no longer be silently downloaded
 and opened. This can be downloaded from:
