Rather than wait two more weeks until Patch Tuesday as Microsoft has opted to do, two companies have released their own unofficial patches for the newly-disclosed Internet Explorer vulnerability that is rapidly being exploited in the wild. Security firms eEye and Determina have both announced the availability of unofficial hotfixes that they're touting as temporary solutions until Microsoft gets its act together. Both companies have released the source code of their patches for review, but installing either is still an at-your-own-risk undertaking. eEye's information and download page can be found here, and Determina's here.
