Serous Security Bug: uTorrent 1.7.5 and Below

All versions from 1.7.5 and earlier have the bug. As I understand it, a crafted malformed data packet can give a peer full control of your machine. Most trackers have or will soon ban all <=1.7.5 uTorrent clients.
If you have automatic updates enabled, you should have already been upgraded to 1.7.6. If you have automatic updates turned off, you should immediately download 1.7.6.
Don't ignore this or you may regret it!

I haven't read any anything credible about them getting in bed with MPAA or RIAA. It's a very popular client on every tracker I download from. If there was something nefarious going on, it would be known by know, I think.
Anyone have a link that would scare me?

what.cd has a bulletin up saying 1.6 is unaffected by this and will soon be taking 1.6 back off the ban list.

this is a new thing, but 1.6 is unaffected. http://nxnod.net/utorrent/

I moved back to Azureus. Azureus v3 is much better than earlier versions.
I think I might do that too.
Is 3 faster than 2? One reason I switched was because of all the Java overhead making Azureus really slow on the old machine I use for torrents.
