The said release will primarily solve issues surrounding the zero-dayInternet Explorer (IE) vulnerability affecting IE 6 and 7.
Since it first became public, cybercriminals have exploited the zero-day vulnerability. These exploits have led to malware detections, including several malicious JavaScript files (JS_SHELLCODE.CD, JS_SHELLCOD.JDT, JS_ COSMU.A, and JS_SHELLCODE.YY). The final payload of which are TSPY_GAMETI.WOW and TROJ_GAMETHI.FNZ, which both lead to game-related information theft.

The patch is slated for release on March 30, 2010 at approximately 10:00 a.m. PDT (UTC-8). The primary workaround for CVE-2010-0806 is to upgrade to IE 8, which remains unaffected by this particular zero-day vulnerability. However, the best practice is still applying the out-of-band patch as soon as it is released.
