TITLE

Apple Safari Shortcut Menu Options Information Disclosure Vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Apple Safari before 4.0.4 does not properly implement certain (1) Open Image and (2) Open Link menu options, which allows remote attackers to read local HTML files via a crafted web site. Apple Safari is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to obtain sensitive information that may aid in further attacks. This issue affects versions prior to Safari 4.0.4. Safari is the new browser in Mac OS X, Apple Computer's latest operating system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you have VARM strategy implemented?

This can be exploited to load a local HTML file and disclose sensitive information by tricking a user into performing the affected actions within a specially crafted webpage. 3) An error exists in WebKit when sending "preflight" requests originating from a page in a different origin. This can be exploited to facilitate cross-site request forgery attacks by injecting custom HTTP headers. 4) Multiple errors in WebKit when handling FTP directory listings on Windows can be exploited to disclose sensitive information, cause a crash, or potentially execute arbitrary code. 5) An error in WebKit when handling an HTML 5 Media Element on Mac OS X can be exploited to bypass remote image loading restrictions via e.g. HTML-formatted emails. NOTE: Some errors leading to crashes, caused by the included libxml2 library, have also been reported. SOLUTION: Update to version 4.0.4. PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1-3, 5) Reported by the vendor. 4) The vendor credits Michal Zalewski of Google Inc.
