Microsoft has released a fix for older version of Internet Explorer to address the watering hole exploit



From v3.co.uk:
The flaw in IE8 and earlier versions allowed attackers to install malware when users visited infected web pages.

“The vulnerability may corrupt memory in a way that could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user within Internet Explorer,” Microsoft warned in its security advisory note.

“An attacker could host a specially crafted website that is designed to exploit this vulnerability through Internet Explorer and then convince a user to view the website.”
