Due to the severity of this crisis, Microsoft is releasing an impromptu (also known as "out of bound") patch as of May 1 (Security Update for Internet Explorer 2965111). Although it originally seemed that Windows XP would be left out in the rain, Microsoft has designed the patch for XP as well as currently supported versions of Windows.
It's critical that you run Windows Update ASAP to get the fix or download, approve and release it to your users via your internal patch methodologies (such as Windows Server Updates Services, aka WSUS). You can also download the appropriate version(s) of the patch directly via the above link and install it manually or roll out via scripting strategies.
