UNSOLVED
IE 0-day vulnerability and Microsoft Fix-It
Microsoft has published an emergency advisory and Fix-it for users of its Internet Explorer.
Advanced users can use Microsoft EMET to mitigate exploitation of this flaw as recommended in Microsoft's advisory 2887505.
For everyday Windows users, Microsoft is also providing a temporary "Fix it" #51001 that changes your settings to provide protection until a permanent fix is available, but this only works in 32-bit versions of Internet Explorer. (It is advisable that you also download the UN-do Fix-it #51002 now, as you may need to use this when Microsoft provides a "permanent" fix.)
