Oh, this has so many individual changes... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3032359

It sounds as though you can get the two security-related fixes separately and defer reinstallation of the rest of this patch. At least, I hope that's what it's saying.

Security patches:

  • For Internet Explorer 11 running on Windows 7 Service Pack 1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1:
    3040335 "Failed to Initialize connection subsystem" error when you establish VPN connections in Windows
  • For Internet Explorer 11 running on Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, or Windows RT 8.1:
    3023607 Secure Channel cumulative update changes TLS protocol renegotiation and fallback behavior
