Possible Security Hole in Leopard?

It appears that there is a possible security bug in Leopard Mail, that appears to be re-introduced after being fixed in March 2006. According to The Register article:
The bug in Apple Mail makes it possible for attackers to run malicious code on a victim's machine by disguising an executable program as an image or other type of innocuous file.

Let's hope that Apple gets this patched in a hurry.
