windows worm patch?

Heard on the radio today that there is new worm for windows 2000 and that there was a patch for it. Was wondering if any one knew where to download the patch?

"All of the worms exploit a security hole in the plug-and-play feature in the Windows 2000 operating system. Microsoft offered a fix for the bug as part of its monthly patching cycle last week. The software maker deemed the issue "critical, its most serious rating.?"
