Microsoft Issues Apple Safari Security Advisory

[RobRich]

As if Microsoft does not have enough of its own Internet Explorer browser security problems about which to worry, the Redmond-based software giant is warning Windows users about potential vulnerabilities in the competing Apple Safari browser.

Quote:

One of three bugs Dhanjani found in connection with Safari, the flaw exposes PC users to a "carpet bomb" attack, allowing potentially malicious files to be downloaded to and run on a PC without the owners' consent.

Apple, according to a post on Dhanjani's blog, does not consider this issue to be "security related" despite evidence that the vulnerability also affects Mac OS X users.
