This is a completely different issue, the one you speak of about the jpg file, what it was was a gif header in a .jpg file with javascript after it, and I just tried it and it is still unpatched, but none the less a different issue

This was actually patched a while ago by Microsoft to the best of my knowlege(I tested it). However, this may be a tad different. In older versions it was possible to upload image files to say a message board or whatever say an avatar. But by placing javascript in any file with a .jpg extension made IE execute the javascript. This went public a few years ago I beleive and was only fixed a month or so ago.
