"The security bug, which affects all current versions of Internet
Explorer for Windows, including IE 5.5 and IE 6, provides attackers with
a grab-bag of techniques for stealing other users' browser cookies,
reading some files on their hard disks, and "spoofing" the
content of legitimate sites, according to ThePull, an independent
security researcher who discovered the vulnerability."

Cheers,
