Windows 98 is vulnerable.

Windows 98 is not supported by MS any longer, and there are literally
thousands of unpatched known exploits for that OS. Windows 98 should
only be used in non-networked single-purpose applications now, and
furthermore an exit plan should be devised for all systems still
running 98.

If you are still using Windows 98 then this new vulnerability is the
least of your security concerns.
