What immediate steps should I take to mitigate this vulnerability?
IrfanView users should avoid opening untrusted or suspicious DXF files and refrain from visiting malicious web pages that could trigger this vulnerability. Applying any available patches or updates from the software vendor once released is recommended. Additionally, consider restricting user privileges and using security software to detect and block malicious files.
