TITLE

Apple Safari cross-domain HTTP redirection race condition

DESCRIPTION

WebKit in Apple Safari 3 Beta before Update 3.0.3, and iPhone before 1.0.1, does not properly handle the interaction between International Domain Name (IDN) support and Unicode fonts, which allows remote attackers to create a URL containing "look-alike characters" (homographs) and possibly perform phishing attacks. Apple Safari contains a race condition when handling HTTP redirection when updating pages. This can allow a cross-domain violation. Apple WebCore fails to properly serialize headers into an HTTP request, which can cause a cross-domain security violation. The Apple Webkit contains a memory corruption vulnerability.This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. Apple's Safari contains a vulnerability that allows spoofing of URLs in the address bar. Apple's Safari is a web browser installed as default with Mac OS X. There is a problem in Safari where URLs displayed in the address bar could be spoofed to deceive Safari users. This could be conducted by using Unicode characters that look alike to ASCII characters as URL strings.As it is difficult for Safari users to tell whether the displayed URL is spoofed or not, an attacker could possibly conduct phising attacks. Attackers may exploit this vulnerability via a malicious webpage to spoof the contents and origin of a page that the victim may trust. Attackers may find this issue useful in phishing or other attacks that rely on content spoofing. This issue affects Apple Safari 3.0.2 for Windows; other versions may also be affected. The iPhone is reported to be affected in the APPLE-SA-2007-07-31 iPhone v1.0.1 Update security advisory. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BETA test the new Secunia Personal Software Inspector!

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 3) An HTTP injection issue in XMLHttpRequest can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTTP requests. 5) An invalid type conversion when rendering frame sets may allow execution of arbitrary code.
