Sony BMG said today it will offer a patch for one of its own exploits - one that comes bundled with its music CDs.
[...]
However, the patch that Sony will offer doesn't remove the 'rootkit' DRM: it only makes the hidden files visible.

A step in the right direction, albiet a very small one... At least with this patch the security risk from the cloaked files will hopefully be gone.
