NO....

That's the Plug 'n Play buffer offer flow vulnerability (KB899588), most notable
in Win2K,
and is not a Universal Plug 'n Play (uPnP) problem. The Zotob used TCP port 445
as the
protocol infection vector and UPnP uses TCP 5000.

One still has to.... ;-)

One has to understand the underlying vulnerability and what exploits it. Its
remembering
the MS KB number and associated patch that's the hard part.
