It is basically the WINE emulated with a bit of a UI facelift to
make certain tasks easier. I cannot say whether or not WINE has
vulnerabilities, but you get to install your own copies of Microsoft
products (Crossover Office lets you install the MS-Office suite and the
Crossover plugin lets you install IE plugins), so those have the same
ol' vulnerabilities.
It is worth noting that you CAN install IE and run Windows Update
to get the latest patches. It is also worth noting this is not
point-n-click end luser easy to do (especially if you do not know to
look for it). It is kind of strange/cool to see Windows Update running
within Linux, though.
