The plug-in interface in WebKit in Apple Safari before 3.2 does not prevent plug-ins from accessing local URLs, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via vectors that "launch local files."

The remote host is running a version of Mac OS X 10.5 that is older than version 10.5.6.  Mac OS X 10.5.6 contains security fixes for the following products : 

  - ATS
  - BOM
  - CoreGraphics
  - CoreServices
  - CoreTypes
  - Flash Player Plug-in
  - Kernel
  - Libsystem
  - Managed Client
  - network_cmds
  - Podcast Producer
  - UDF

The version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 3.2.  Such versions are potentially affected by several issues : 


  - Safari includes a version of zlib that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities. (CVE-2005-2096)
  - A heap buffer overflow issue in the libxslt library could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2008-1767)
  - A signedness issue in Safari's handling of JavaScript array indices could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2008-2303)
  - A memory corruption issue in WebCore's handling of style sheet elements could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2008-2317)
  - Multiple uninitialized memory access issues in libTIFF's handling of LZW-encoded TIFF images could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2008-2327)
  - A memory corruption issue in ImageIO's handling of TIFF images could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2008-2332).
  - A memory corruption issue in ImageIO's handling of embedded ICC profiles in JPEG images could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2008-3608)
  - A heap buffer overflow in CoreGraphics' handling of color spaces could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2008-3623)
  - A buffer overflow in the handling of images with an embedded ICC profile could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2008-3642)
  - Disabling autocomplete on a form field may not prevent the data in the field from being stored in the browser page cache. (CVE-2008-3644)
  - WebKit's plug-in interface does not block plug-ins from launching local URLs, which could allow a remote attacker to launch local files in Safari and lead to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2008-4216)
