WMP9/10 vulnerability

[Sharktooth]

A critical bug in WMP9 and 10 has been discovered and there already is a proof of concept code that can exploit it.
Is MS going to patch this soon, should we stay away from .asx or even install WMP11 (with all the limitations it comes with) to stay secure?

Sounds to me more like anything that supports an asx playlist could be at risk so WMP 11 may not be the cure even though we could be lead to believe it. It could even be playlists in general that are presently supported in your browser as there is not enough info from the provided link.

The patch is out already. You just need to download (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=19ca4b44-2b60-4270-9c42-f5063c627f91&displaylang=en) it.
