actually, no
In the original secunia advisory (dated 7/1), only firefox .9 and greater and mozilla 1.7 were unaffected. opera was vulnerable at the time; they released 7.52 on 7/7 to fix the problem. check your own link to the secunia advisory; its all in there.

of course, this still leaves anyone on older versions of firefox, mozilla, and opera vulnerable (not everyone patches or upgrades immediately, even among those who should know better), along with anyone using ie, netscape, konqueror, safari, and others.

given that this is a 6-year-old flaw that was previously known about and fixed, this is sad. at least the flaw in this article, while just as old, wasnt known about or previously fixed.
