But not for Win 9X/ME. From the FAQ:

Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows 98 Second Edition (SE),
and Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (ME) were previously
listed as affected, but are no longer listed. Why is that?

Although Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition, and Windows
Millennium Edition do contain the affected component, at this
point in the investigation, an exploitable attack vector has
not been identified that would yield a Critical severity rating
for these versions. Per the support life cycle of these versions,
only vulnerabilities of Critical severity would receive security
updates.
