Microsoft may wait until April 11 to patch a critical vulnerability in its Internet Explorer browser, security vendor eEye Digital Security has released what it calls a "temporary" patch to address the problem.

Though Microsoft has described these attacks as "limited" in scope, the problem is being taken seriously by the software giant because the exploits can be used to seize control of a user's machine.

EEye's patch, which is available free of charge, will automatically remove itself when Microsoft's official patch is delivered. It is available for download.
