Please, people, just throw IE off your hard drive. That thing is unacceptable. Take one of the many better alternatives, for example Firefox. But finally dump this garbage heap where it belongs.
And another note, because the Heise article doesn't make this clear: this exploit is much worse because it doesn't directly affect JavaScript, etc., but only indirectly. And with that it can come into play everywhere the IE is also used internally (e.g. with the various nice tools that constantly fetch and display HTML from the internet for you!). The capabilities of this exploit seem to be quite serious.
