Descriptions

Apple Safari before 3.1.2 on Windows does not properly interpret the URLACTION_SHELL_EXECUTE_HIGHRISK Internet Explorer zone setting, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions, and force a client system to download and execute arbitrary files.

Apple Safari anterior a la versión 3.1.2 en Windows no interpreta apropiadamente la configuración de zona de Internet Explorer URLACTION_SHELL_EXECUTE_HIGHRISK, que permite a los atacantes remotos omitir las restricciones de acceso previstas y forzar a un sistema cliente a descargar y ejecutar archivos arbitrarios.
