Um it is SmartCards. Where there is fear, there is money to be made. Lukas is a smart guy.
The trick is to make sure all drivers and applications verify the jpeg before expanding it. The jpeg image is embedded as a file inside the smart card called DG2. Alterations of the DG2 can be verified through software signitures and hash values.
Even with the above not employed, data execution protection has been around since Windows XP SP2. By default all memory allocated by applications will have non execute restrictions placed on it from a software and hardware level. Applications wishing to allocate executable memory must explicitly do this. Application memory space and the heap are separate and protected.
I believe part of what Grunwald says is true, the rest a good show and makes for good stories to print. A little more investigative journalism would go a long way here.
