Microsoft has taken the unusual step of releasing a security fix outside of their normal release cycle. The bulletin, MS04-025, is a cumulative update that addresses three separate vulns in IE: CAN-2004-0549, CAN-2004-0566, and CAN-2003-1048.
Because the MSRC has rated the bulletin as “critical”, you should download and install it on affected machines immediately.
