>> Apple Safari Memory Corruption and Address Bar Spoofing Vulnerabilities
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Apple Safari for Windows, which could be exploited by remote attackers to spoof arbitrary web sites, cause a denial of service or compromise a vulnerable system.
The first issue is caused by a memory corruption error when handling overly long filenames, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected browser or execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into clicking a specially crafted URL (e.g. to download a ZIP archive).
The second vulnerability is caused by an error when handling certain windows, which could be exploited by malicious web sites to conduct phishing attacks.
