Did I read that right

On top of what he listed here, doesn't the user then need to be convinced to run a repair on the file? You call that a problem being thrown in anyone's face? You are just as guilty of being totally subjective sir. I've seen your entries. How could this be classified as a "FLAW"? These security outfits are usually the only ones to find them, obviously gearing most of their work toward MS and then it's handed to the hackers. But it requires social engineering tactics that would bring any system in the world down. Why don't they just report that big whopping flaw in Linux that if you can call the company running the software, speak to IT and convince them you are from their service vendor and need administrative rights, then if the user gives them this information they can take control of the network. For God's sake. At least be a tiny bit objective. Korea can now reach the United States with an ICBM, or it's been reported they can. What should the U.S. do? Put up missle defense silos all along the west coast, Hawaii and Alaska, or take another measure? Is you home inpenetrable by a theif? What woudl you say if someone stole your precious little linux box someday? Start writing scathing posts about Yale or some other lock maker?
It is a LAW ENFORCEMENT issue. Across the board. From the boundless flaws in Mozilla's products to Linux to Windows. Give your tired and outdated responses a rest. You must have them all setup with macros at this point. They are stock.
