It's 2020 and hackers are still hijacking Windows PCs by exploiting font parser security holes. No patch, either

From linked doc:

"Rename ATMFD.DLL

Please note: ATMFD.DLL is not present in Windows 10 installalations starting with Windows 10, version 1709. Newer versions do not have this DLL. See the mitigation section for more information."

My install says version 1809. Ah, separately it says:

"Windows 10 1809/Server 2019 All fonts are processed in fontdrvhost.exe in user mode appcontainer. ATMFD.DLL status:Not present"

Of course, separately it says:

"Windows 10 Version 1809 for 32-bit Systems Remote Code Execution Critical"

Sounds as reassuring as a Trump press conference: guess which one statement of many actually has some link with 'truth'.
