ALERT This vulnerability is in Microsoft Internet Explorer v.5.2.x for the Mac, too!

Sorry, First_Salute, but I just tested the exploit on Secunia's site with my Apple Macintosh G5. both with Safari and Internet Explorer 5.2.3, and the exploit did not work on either.

While Secunia DID successfully inject its content onto the page, the return to the page did not replicate that injection

Perhaps I was too quick and their explanation of the exploit is a bit vague. The Secunia insert DID get inserted into the window... but the window on the Mac version comes to the front and you see the change being made.

Using that criteria Safari, IE 5.2.3 AND Netscape 7.1 are all vulnerable.

Damn!
