Microsoft has decided to rush out a fix for a flaw in Windows, saying that the problem has become too serious to ignore. The flaw, which will be patched on Tuesday, was originally disclosed to Microsoft in December, but it was not publicly reported until last week. The bug lies in the way Windows processes .ani Animated Cursor files, which are used to create cartoon-like cursors in Windows.

"(At least Microsoft are going out of their way to correct this problem though.)"
They're going out of their way only because they sat on their behinds on this bug. This bug could've been patched in any of the Jan, Feb, or March updates, and there would've been no need for a rushed out-of-cycle patch. Atrocious decision making.
