Windows 7, yes.
The only patch for Windows 8 was for 8.1, the patch for 8(.0) was only released with the XP patch.

Typical muddled reporting by a newspaper.
They could not provide a patch for XP, since none existed.

On another note, even a patch existing does not mean it will work.
I checked the windows update logs on all my W7 PC's, and the patch for this this (which was released in March) is marked as "Failed" on one of them - which presumably means it hasnt installed. I wonder how many others failed.
