This patch is patch number KB896424 and is a critical patch that closes a loophole in the graphics rendering engine of Windows (specially crafted grapics files can infect on view of graphics without this patch). Relevant security bulletin can be found by searching microsoft for MS05-053 (or see link below for it). This patch is a critical security patch but is not yet on WindowsUpdate. 2000 and XP are the Windows versions that need patching, 98 through ME are not affected by this issue.
