    Yes, it's pretty easy to install. To find an application of any size that's "completely secure" is sort of like finding a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. The problem here was that the specific hole that was found was a) very easy to exploit and b) let the exploiter do a lot of bad things. So yes, everybody should upgrade, but equally as important is getting yourself on the right mailing lists so that when problems of this nature are found in the future, you don't find out about them because you've been compromised.
