LimeWire security flaw found, fixed

Apparently there was a big flaw in LimeWire. It seems that the developers inadvertently made it possible for an attacker to take a look at a victims entire hard drive. The hole has since been fixed, but I was wondering if anyone else had heard about this. Link: http://news.com.com/LimeWire+securit...3-5618949.html
