Title: Apple Safari for Windows Document.Location Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Apple Safari for Windows is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly handle user-supplied input.
An attacker may exploit this issue by enticing victims into opening a maliciously crafted HTML document.
The problem stems from how the browser handles 'document.location='';' in a malicious webpage.
Successful exploits can allow attackers to crash the affected browser, resulting in denial-of-service conditions.
Safari 3.0 and 3.0.1 public beta for Windows are reported vulnerable.
NOTE: At the time of writing, Symantec was unable to reproduce this vulnerability. We are investigating this issue further and will update this BID as more information emerges.
Affected Products:
- Apple Safari 3 Beta for Windows
- Apple Safari 3.0.1 Beta for Windows
