Description

- 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)
