Description:
Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian has discovered a security issue in Safari, which can be exploited by malicious people to display a fake URL in the address bar.

The problem is that it is possible to hide the actual location of a page in the address bar via a specially crafted URL containing a number of certain special characters in the "user" field before the "@" character.

The security issue is confirmed in version 3.1.1 on Mac OS X and Vista. Other versions may also be affected.
