I read the posts yesterday and downloaded the patch. I checked my puter and found that Universal Plug and Play had not been enabled in the first place. My system has XP Pro and is not networked. Is this a vulnerability to networked computers only?

I would have liked to see if our machine had upnp enabled before we downloaded and installed the patch. Never thought to do that.

I believe it is a vulnerability for anyone who is connected to the internet. Get behind a firewall like Black Ice or Zone Alarm.
