Bloody Hell, I have both security updates and 10.3.4 installed and the
exploit still works, *even in English*, let alone other languages.

I repaired permissions as well (been a while) just to see if that would help
and it did do repairs to CoreServices files and I also rebooted for good
measure...still the exploit works.

Unbelievable but sadly true, thanks for the info William.
