Such an exploit certainly exists in these earlier versions.

But the fact is that your original post is, itself, an exploit
... an exploitation of pure hysteria, and an attempt to 'tap
into' the fears of those who don't understand much about general
security issues.

Not to mention the fact that, as a previous reply stated, you've
fallen for an obvious hoax or, at least, a grim joke.

By all means, report such software exploits. But DON'T back them
up using rubbish like that. Makes you look like a newbie fool,
frankly. Or, at worst, a link in the whole anti-P2P chain. Get a
grip.
