from the link: "We have received several reports of malware that installs and runs the 8.0.2 BOINC client on Windows computers. We are investigating this; we currently don’t know how the malware works or how to defeat it. We’ll report whatever we learn here.

This is not a vulnerability in BOINC; rather, it’s malware that illegally installs BOINC."
