Mac OS X : Apple Safari < 3.2

high Nessus Plugin ID 34773

Synopsis

The remote host contains a web browser that is affected by several issues.

Description

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is earlier than 3.2. As such, it is potentially affected by several issues :

- 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)

- 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)

Solution

Upgrade to Apple Safari 3.2 or later.
