The company was informed of said remotely exploitable vulnerability back in October 2013 by Belgian researcher Peter 'corelanc0d3r' Van Eeckhoutte. That's a full seven months after a bug has been found in the software, which can be exploited if a consumer opens up a link to a malicious web page or by opening a pesky infected email.
