      I developed a patch for this security problem in the form of a
Win32 Service program that can be installed by the Administrator of the
system. It sets itself to run every time the system is started, and before
the user has the opportunity to start a program, it adjusts the
permissions of the DLL cache to something much safer.

Alternatively, you can set
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\ProtectionMode=1
and reboot.
