I haven't seen this report here yet.
Flaws in SP2 security features
==============================
1) The command shell cmd.exe ignores the ZoneID of files.
2) Windows Explorer caches the result of ZoneID lookups. If a file is
overwritten, Explorer does not properly update this cached information
to reflect the new ZoneID. This allows spoofing of trusted or
non-existant ZoneIDs by overwriting files with trusted or non-existent
ZoneIDs.
