Starting with: Internet Explorer on XP SP1/SP2, which suffers a new system compromise (of course) vulnerability. Continuing with: Opera, Mozilla / Mozilla Firefox / Camino, Safari, Netscape, Konqueror, Avant Browser and Maxthon, which all suffers some new spoofing vulnerabilitities. Demonstrations of the spoofing vulnerabilities are available here and here."
