TITLE:
Safari HTML Parsing Weakness

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA23893

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/23893/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Safari 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/5289/

DESCRIPTION:
Jose Avila III has discovered a weakness in Safari, which can
potentially be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.

The weakness is caused due to an error in the parsing of comments
within certain tags of an HTML document. Arbitrary HTML and script
code in a comment tag is executed in a user's browser session when
preceded by the corresponding closing tag (e.g. the title tag).

Successful exploitation is possible on web sites that allow users to
insert unsanitised HTML and script code within a comment into such a
tag.

The weakness is confirmed in Safari 2.0.4. Other versions may also be
affected.

SOLUTION:
Do not browse untrusted sites.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Jose Avila III
