Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Safari RSS in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.6, and Windows XP and Vista, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the local security zone via a crafted feed: URL, related to "input validation issues."

The version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 3.2.2.  Such versions reportedly have multiple vulnerabilities : 

  - Multiple input validation issues in their handling of 'feed: ' URLs, which could be abused to execute arbitrary JavaScript code in the local security zone. (CVE-2009-0137)

  - A cached certificate is not required before displaying a lock icon for a HTTPS web site. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to present the user with spoofed web pages over HTTPS that appear to be from a legitimate source. (CVE-2009-2072)

  - The browser processes a 3xxx HTTP CONNECT before a successful SSL handshake, which could allow a man-in-the-midddle attacker to execute arbitrary script code in the context of a HTTPS site. (CVE-2009-2062)
