This .WMF exploit would fail against a modern CPU with the no-execute bit if
Windows XP2's DEP is enabled. If you are of the sort to be concerned, and
you like to upgrade, here is a real excuse to do so. All the newer AMD and
Intel CPUs have the no-execute bit. This combined with DEP makes buffer
overrrun exploits a thing of the past for the most part. The current .WMF
exploit doesn't work against such a combination.
