Your title is grossly misleading. The actual vulnerability is a Firefox Windows vulnerability that is conjectured to also work in Safari. They go on to surmise that it also works in the MacOS X version of Safari. However, there seems to be no evidence--let alone proof--that the vulnerability is anything other than a Firefox vulnerability under Windows.

Although the proof-of-concept exploit is launched via Firefox installed on the victim machine, Larholm makes it clear that this is a problem in Safari for Windows. In an interview over IM, he said he did not test the exploit on the Mac OS X platform.

grossly misleading? ur total denial is not grossly misleading?
