^That appears to be a little sensationalist.^
From the (article) linked GitHub repo:
This is essentially a universal no-fix local privilege escalation in windows domain environments where LDAP signing is not enforced (the default settings).
(Bold added by me)It can be defended against, just not with default settings.

Why the heck does the Mars probe have a GUI?

DId they actually expected Martians to exist, find it, and plug in a monitor?

So it's important to note that the news is a bit misleading in how they present this. YES, the probe supposedly runs Windows 98. But that's irrelevant to the news article. It was NOT Windows 98 getting patched even thought the article talks about patching. It was a software update for the space agency's own software that runs ON Windows 98, that's all. Their OWN developers haven't released an update in that long.

They need to be able to use IGRDP -- Intragalactic Remote Desktop Protocol. It's all the rage these days, right?
Hey, I wonder if that new fandangled Webb Telescope will have Windows XP on it? lol.

Definately something I'll consider using. -
