Researchers at Mcafee and Zerodium both have working exploits for this. Neither have released technical details. There are no publicly available exploits at this stage, nor evidence of exploitation in wild.

Considering McAfee are having problems with the Win7/Server 2008 R2 Monthly Rollup and Security-only patches for a second month how would McAfee prevent/fix it and secure PC’s if there was an exploit running wild now?

Windows - commercial by definition and now function...

Intel/McAfee could  sanely publicize it and disseminate a separate fix.

My computer is patched to forestall any “wild” exploits.
