I certainly hesitate to be alarmed, as I don't go to Warez-sites or other
off-limits sites, where you would expect this exploit to be present.
But if you do, install RCDefaultApp like John Gruber very competently explains.
In an earlier post, I said I was not going to take any further steps (beyond installing Apple's patch) until the next Apple update/release/patch.
After reading the article on Daring Fireball (very clear and well-written), I've decided to take John's advice and install RCDefaultApp and follow his recommendations. It took me all of 60 seconds. It's probably overkill, but with such a low inconvenience factor, I figured it was worth doing.

And all they ask for in return is that we never send them into harm's way unless it is absolutely necessary. Will they ever trust us again?"
