This Patch Tuesday is screaming for a 3rd party patch

With the Patch Tuesday release today it seems that Microsoft is up to their ears in fixes.  However, two of potentially the biggest were not included in this fix.  I am of course referring to the two MS Word holes that were found and have been exploited in the wild already.

Just a few months ago Determina, eEye and ZERT were falling over themselves to help us all with 3rd party patches to hold the fort down until Microsoft got around to it.  Now when it would seem the need is extreme, they are no where to be found.  Maybe they realized it is not a profitable business?  Maybe it is really hard to patch these?  I don't know, but this is part of the reason why I think the whole VA thing is dead as a stand alone strategy.
