Apple Safari before 4.0.4 does not properly implement certain (1) Open Image and (2) Open Link menu options, which allows remote attackers to read local HTML files via a crafted web site.

The version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 4.0.4.  Such versions are potentially affected by several issues :

  - An integer overflow in the handling of images with an     embedded color profile could lead to a crash or     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2009-2804)

  - Multiple use-after-free issues exist in libxml2, the     most serious of which could lead to a program crash.
    (CVE-2009-2414, CVE-2009-2416)

  - An issue in the handling of navigations initiated via     the 'Open Image in New Tab', 'Open Image in New Window'     or 'Open Link in New Tab' shortcut menu options could     be exploited to load a local HTML file, leading to     disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2009-2842)

  - An issue involving WebKit's inclusion of custom HTTP     headers specified by a requesting page in preflight     requests in support of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing     can facilitate cross-site request forgery attacks.     (CVE-2009-2816)

  - Multiple issues in WebKit's handling of FTP directory     listings may lead to information disclosure, unexpected     application termination, or execution of arbitrary     code. (CVE-2009-3384)

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is earlier than 4.0.4.  As such, it is potentially affected by several issues :

  - Multiple use-after-free issues exist in libxml2, the     most serious of which could lead to a program crash.
    (CVE-2009-2414, CVE-2009-2416)

  - An issue in the handling of navigations initiated via     the 'Open Image in New Tab', 'Open Image in New Window'     or 'Open Link in New Tab' shortcut menu options could     be exploited to load a local HTML file, leading to     disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2009-2842)

  - An issue involving WebKit's inclusion of custom HTTP     headers specified by a requesting page in preflight     requests in support of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing     can facilitate cross-site request forgery attacks.     (CVE-2009-2816)

  - WebKit fails to issue a resource load callback to     determine if a resource should be loaded when it     encounters an HTML 5 Media Element pointing to an     external resource, which could lead to undesired     requests to remote servers. (CVE-2009-2841)

The version of Safari installed on the remote host is earlier than 4.0.4.  Such versions are potentially affected by multiple issues : 

  - An integer overflow exists in the handling of images with an embedded color profile, which may lead to a heap buffer overflow. (CVE-2009-2804)

  - Multiple use-after-free issues exist in libxml2, the most serious of which may lead to an unexpected application termination. (CVE-2009-2414, CVE-2009-2416)

  - An issue exists in Safari's handling of navigations initiated via the "Open Image in New Tab", "Open Image in New Window", or "Open Link in New Tab" shortcut menu options. Using these options within a maliciously crafted website could load a local HTML file, leading to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2009-2842)

  - An issue exists in WebKit's implementation of Cross-Origin Resource Sharing which could lead to cross-site request forger attacks. (CVE-2009-2816)

  - Multiple vulnerabilities exist in WebKit's handling of FTP directory listings. Accessing a maliciously crafted FTP server may lead to information disclosure, unexpected application termination, or execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2009-3384)

  - When WebKit encounters an HTML 5 Media Element pointing to an external resource, it does not issue a resource load callback to determine if the resource should be loaded. This may result in undesired requests to remote servers. (CVE-2009-2841)
