It might not be a bad idea to proactively disarm this vulnerability on your own machine(s), as I just did:

sudo chmod -s System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ ARDAgent.app/ARDAgent

That turns off the setuid bit. I'm sure that'll break Remote Desktop functionality, but that's still preferable to having your machine pwned. (And it can be fixed by using Disk Utility to repair permissions.)

I removed my user name from the "allow access from only these users" and the
hack quit working...

I added myself back in and turned on all of the options and the hack still
does not work...

I checked the ARDAgent executable and the  suid bit is still set.

Very Strange.

That 'fix' didn't work for me. Perhaps your ARDAgent process hasn't quit?
