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.
Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, using the Network Software Inspector.
Solution:
Update to version 3.1.1.
