Safari 3 Beta up to Safari 3.0.1 - Image 1

It should be remembered that Apple just recently released its Safari browser for Windows for beta testing. However, the said browser is having some difficulties as around six bugs have already been detected just hours after that. The Cupertino-based company now wishes to inform its user base that Safari has been upgraded to 3.0.1.

Like we said, there are at least six known bugs to the new browser. Despite that, Apple just highlighted three separate security vulnerabilities that will be taken care of by the update. And they are:
  • CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3186 (Available for Windows XP or Vista)
    • Impact: Visiting a malicious website may lead to arbitrary code execution
    • Description: A command injection vulnerability exists in the Windows version of Safari 3 Public Beta. By enticing a user to visit a maliciously crafted web page, an attacker can trigger the issue which may lead to arbitrary code execution. This update addresses the issue by performing additional processing and validation of URLs. This does not pose a security issue on Mac OS X systems, but could lead to an unexpected termination of the Safari browser.
  • CVE-ID: CVE-2007-3185 (Available for Windows XP or Vista)
    • Impact: Visiting a malicious website may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution
    • Description: An out-of-bounds memory read issue in Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution when visiting a malicious website. This issue does not affect Mac OS X systems.
  • CVE-ID: CVE-2007-2391 (Available for Windows XP or Vista)
    • Impact: Visiting a malicious website may allow cross-site scripting
    • Description: A race condition in Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows may allow cross site scripting. Visiting a maliciously crafted web page may allow access to JavaScript objects or the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of another web page. This issue does not affect Mac OS X systems.
Those who've already download the public beta version of the Safari browser might want to replace their files to add more security to their systems. In case you are interested, the Source link below will take you to Apple's download page.
