Kaspersky Antivirus Critical Vulnerability - Patched?

According to some messages at the Kaspersky website's forums, there should be a security update available for the "Windows workstations" version of the Anti-Virus. The updated version is 5.0.227.

Yesterday, Kaspersky published a response to the advisory, claiming they released an update to their Anti-Virus signatures that should handle exploitation of the CAB engine vulnerability. They also promised that an update to the engine, that will plug the security hole, will be released.
