    From El Reg:

    An open source and freeware development outfit, Openwares.org, has released an open source patch for an IE spoofing vulnerability. Why, we don't know, but Microsoft, given its attitude to open source licensing models, is unlikely to smile on the project.

    Microsoft itself has however only warned of the vulnerability, and has not issued its own patch yet, so Openwares has the field to itself for the moment. The patch is available here, along with a couple of demonstrations of the vulnerability.
