AVG has written to HEXUS to say "... The vulnerability relates only to Internet Explorer; all other browsers are not affected. From June 1, AVG released a fix for all affected users.
We would like to thank CERT for their efforts in researching and reporting this vulnerability, and acknowledge their commitment and policy on responsible disclosure..."
