"Highly critical" Mac OS X kernel hole unearthed

Same flaw. As has been noted in the comments on most of the articles re-reporting this "proof-of-concept" flaw, it cannot be used to insert malicious code as has been hinted at in the articles... it merely crashes the OS, causing a denial of service. The solution to that is to reboot and delete the .dmg file that caused it. The better solution is to simply not download and open a suspicious .dmg file. Merely turning off the "OK" to open "Safe" files after download in Safari also stops it dead in its tracks. Also, since a similar problem with .dmg files last year, .dmg files have not been considered "Safe" by Safari anyway.
