APPLE-SA-2007-07-31 Safari 3 Beta Update 3.0.3
Safari 3 Beta Update 3.0.3 is now available and addresses the
following issues:
Safari
CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3743
Available for: Windows XP or Vista
Impact: Adding bookmarks may lead to an unexpected application
termination or arbitrary code execution
Description: A stack buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Safari's
bookmark handling. By enticing a user to add a bookmark with an
overlong title, an attacker may trigger the issue which may lead to
an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution.
This update addresses the issue by performing proper bounds checking.
This issue does not affect Mac OS X systems.
WebKit
CVE-ID: CVE-2007-2408
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later, Windows XP or Vista
Impact: Visiting a malicious website may allow Java applets to load
and run even when Java is disabled
Description: Safari provides an "Enable Java" preference, which when
unchecked should prevent the loading of Java applets. By default,
Java applets are allowed to be loaded. Navigating to a maliciously
crafted web page may allow a Java applet to be loaded without
checking the preference. This update addresses the issue through a
stricter check of the "Enable Java" preference. Credit to Rhys Kidd
and Scott Wilde for reporting this issue.
WebKit
CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3742
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later, Windows XP or Vista
Impact: Look-alike characters in a URL could be used to masquerade a
website
Description: The International Domain Name (IDN) support and Unicode
fonts embedded in Safari could be used to create a URL which contains
look-alike characters. These could be used in a malicious web site to
direct the user to a spoofed site that visually appears to be a
legitimate domain. This update addresses the issue by through an
improved domain name validity check. Credit to Tomohito Yoshino
of Business Architects Inc. for reporting this issue.
WebKit
CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3944
Available for: Mac OS X v10.4.9 or later, Windows XP or Vista
Impact: Viewing a maliciously crafted web page may lead to arbitrary
code execution
Description: Heap buffer overflows exist in the Perl Compatible
Regular Expressions (PCRE) library used by the JavaScript engine in
Safari. By enticing a user to visit a maliciously crafted web page,
an attacker may trigger the issues, which may lead to arbitrary code
execution. This update addresses the issues by performing additional
validation of JavaScript regular expressions. Credit to Charlie
Miller and Jake Honoroff of Independent Security Evaluators for
reporting these issues.
