Description: Apple has issued a security update for Mac OS X, which fixes multiple vulnerabilities. 1) Under certain circumstances, it is possible for JavaScript to bypass the same-origin policy via specially crafted archives. 2) A boundary error in Mail can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted email with an overly long Real Name entry. This allows execution of arbitrary code on a user's system if a specially crafted attachment in the AppleDouble format is double-clicked. 3) An error in Safari / LaunchServices can cause a malicious application to appear as a safe file type. This may cause a malicious file to be executed automatically when visiting a malicious web site. This vulnerability is related to: SA18963 Solution: Apply Security Update 2006-002.
