LOL whoops indeed

However, as the article points out the current version of the software has already plugged the hole and we don't have to wait for Microsoft to get around to first acknowledging there is a bug 6 months to a year there and then giving it the proper priority after all any Microsoft bug is assumed to be extremely minor when reported which can take 3 months to a year. Then Microsoft actually codes the correction and makes the patch which takes a monther or two then finally they add it to the patch cycle for the patch month after next as the next patch cycle is already filled. It would seem Open Source does correct things quite a bit faster than the closed source types.
