I'll bet the answer to this one is "Yes". 

Rich is *not* saying that:
" ... the author of: "Microsoft Security Bulletin
  MS01-059 - Unchecked Buffer in Universal Plug and Play can Lead to
  System Compromise", which claims the problem to be an unchecked buffer
  in UPnP was parroting what was reported to Microsoft, but was wrong
  about the nature of the problem?"

This doesn't mean that the author was wrong. It just means that Rich isn't
saying that. In MTV speak, he's yanking your crank.
