Has this exploit been confirmed on all browsers, or is only Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) vulnerable? Do tell...

It's not just IE, I've confirmed the exploit on Netscape 7.1

This sounds really stupid to me. I don't know any specific details about the exploit, but I used to write data entry programs under COBOL, then Unix C and DOS, then VB. I never allowed any data that could harm the program. I always read and validated any stream of data one character at a time. I had plenty of horsepower to do this with 8088 CPUs. There's no excuse for data crashing a program.
