For the latest round of patches, are we going to see a widespread worm develop from these vulnerabilities? I don't believe we will.
Don't get me wrong, I think that these vulnerabilities are a significant concern for any individual who doesn't patch (these people do exist), or for companies that are slow to patch. But lately, I think that people are a lot more aware of applying their security updates - or the fact that these often happen automatically now - and the pool of vulnerable systems for a worm is much smaller. ..."
