Please _don't_ ! I'm sympathetic to your situation,
and we have all shouted for help in a crisis, but.....

This VectorGraphics+Javascript+IE+windows
exploit has _no_ relevance to this group.
The only way that it is related to a discussion of asterisk
source code development would be if either:
	a) You are emphasizing the importance of safe coding style
to protect against buffer overruns and can indicate somewhere
in the asterisk codebase where you feel we should be doing better.
	b) The vulnerability in some way impacts directly on asterisk
(say via the new http/manager stuff).

There are several new vulnerabilities discovered each day, and there are
lists for them. This isn't one.
