I just got an email from a source at Symantec confirming that yes, it's
patched. 

Thanks all,

Alex

It appears that ZDNet UK story is based to really old sources.
Check these informative links:

SANS ISC:

http://isc.sans.org/diary.php?storyid=1367

and
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/security/Content/2006.05.2

of course, including information about upcoming localized builds.

Conflicting information:

On the 28th: It's patched:

Just hours ago: It's not patched:
http://news.zdnet.co.uk/internet/security/0,39020375,39272127,00.htm


Putting aside "local language builds", it sure looks like this has been
patched to me. Any other info out there?
