It basically injects malware (malicious code) into your browser when you visit a hacked site. Supposedly Firefox is not affected. Read more on this IE8 exploit here: Krebs on Security

Best safety measure until Microsoft releases a patch to fix it would be to use another browser such as Firefox if you are worried.

fixed that...
