http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/advance.mspx

"Microsoft announced that it would release a security update to help protect customers from exploitations of a vulnerability in the Windows Meta File (WMF) area of code in the Windows operating system on Tuesday, January 2, 2006, in response to malicious and criminal attacks on computer users that were discovered last week.

Microsoft will release the update today on Thursday, January 5, 2006, earlier than planned. "

Also, two other critical patches will be released in-band on Tuesday the 10th. Lets not forget about those and the chances that exploit could be created from those patches. If the holes are serious enough, that could be another whole problem in itself.

UPDATE - http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms06-001.mspx - The patch is here.
