TITLE:
Safari Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA29846

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/29846/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Safari 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/17989/
Safari for Windows 3.x
http://secunia.com/product/17978/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Safari, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks
or potentially to compromise a user's system.

1) An error exists in the handling of URLs containing a colon
character in the host name. This can be exploited to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks when a specially crafted URL is opened.

2) An integer overflow error exists in WebKit's regular expression
compiler in JavaScriptCore/pcre/pcre_compile.cpp. This can be
exploited to cause a  heap-based buffer overflow via specially
crafted regular expressions with large, nested repetition counts.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code e.g.
when a user visits a malicious web page.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 3.1.1.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.1.1.
