companies with database commands that attempt to add hidden links that

If apple.com had been vulnerable to this, you would expect to find lots of pages that had been injected.
The fact that there is only a single instance of this in the Google cache suggests to me that another website (perhaps the CMS of the podcast author) was injected and this was then automatically synced to the iTunes store.
This seems much more likely than Apple.com being vulnerable to this - I'd be willing to bet they don't run MS SQL server either, which is the only thing this worm will work on.
