Has anyone had unusual concerns [more than usual] about the IE
vulnerability recently described on Secunia:
http://secunia.com/advisories/12889/

"Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Internet Explorer, which can
be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system, conduct
cross-site/zone scripting and bypass a security feature in Microsoft
Windows XP SP2.
"

Some have indicated it's exploitable without user intervention upon
arriving at a hostile site.
