I just found out about this this morning. It affects all browsers but I am not sure of the blog article is just fear mongering or if it's legit. Interesting read none the less.
The blog entry
The NoScript Bandaid

Good to know.
Personally, I've had NoScript installed on my firefox since I got Firefox. It's awesome, not only does it stop unwanted Java, but most ads are killed in the process as well.

Re: New browser exploit.
no script is an addon that allows fine-grained control of javascript execution, as well as flash, java and some other stuff. Turns javascript *off* by default and allows you to temporarily allow it on a site or permanently ... &c &c &c
