Using the POC at http://www.zapthedingbat.com/security/ex01/vun1.htm
The following do NOT have the vulnerability.
MacOSX 10.2.28 Mozilla Firebird 0.6 NOT vulnerability
MacOSX 10.2.28 Mozilla Firebird 0.7.1 NOT vulnerability
MacOSX 10.2.28 IE 5.2.2 (5010.1) NOT vulnerability
MacOSX 10.2.28 IE 5.2.3 (5815.1) NOT vulnerability
With both Firebird and IE the following is the same result. The
line below is a cut/paste.

Someone have a different test site?
