Sure, it’s enough to update the script… I just wanted to say to not panic, cuz isn’t necessary 
ParkerAndKent is right that it’s not something to panic about as it would only take a minute to update the timthumb file in any theme you are using.
Just to clarify, the site that was hacked was the site of the blogger posting about the exploit and not the site of a ThemeForest buyer.

Old versions of timthumb open your WP blog to be exploited. The script only does a partial match on hostnames allowing hackers to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code in your timthumb cache directory.

I’m reading this now too. Looks really good so far.
A little bit off-topic, question for authors:
How do you use timthumb? In image tags, just place the link to timthumb with src in querystring and dimensions? And users set fullsize image wherever is needed an timthumb scales it on the fly?
It gets even better! WordThumb is now TimThumb 2: http://markmaunder.com/2011/wordthumb-is-now-timthumb-2-0/
