Kaspersky Lab's AVP (and possibly other vendors') antivirus suites now 
detect the presence of this method in files by the name "Suspicion: 
Exploit.IMG-BMP".

So any future worm or virus that tries to use this attack vector to inject 
itself automatically should be stopped from the very first minute. Even if 
it is a brand new malware.

Sincerely: Tamas Feher.
