Google has fixed the flaw:

"Google was recently alerted to a potential security vulnerability affecting the Gmail service. We have since fixed this vulnerability, and all current and future Gmail users are protected," Google spokesman Nathan Tyler said.

An investigation by Google found that only a handful of Gmail users were victimized, the source close to the Mountain View, California-based company said.

Now I wonder how would they be able to investigate who exactly was victimized?
