sabby7890, please stop nagging about viruses. This has nothing to do
with viruses at all! A virus is an executable file that copies itself
into another executable. This bug wouldn't in any way permit a user to
write to its executable, nor any other executable, hence it's not a
virus.

Though it is annoying that a bug in one application is able to "hang"
the entire desktop, it is not in any way a security issue since you have
to install the application and run it manually. You should be aware that
any application you run will have all the same rights as you do,
including deleting all your files, which would be alot more problematic
than this bug. Also, this bug doesn't affect other users.
