Replies to what?
The vulnerability fix has been noted in the changelog... but I don't see any reason for a hysteria like "Must update ASAP!". The vulnerability makes it possible to escalate privileges - i.e. you have to already have an account on the target machine to use it. Nothing remotely exploitable, most users don't have to be concerned.

Considering that Softpedia isn't a little fly by night website,
is anything being done to amend that post?
