Safari 3.1 Flaw Ready To Be a Target of Attacks!

5 04 2008

An Argentinian security researcher, Juan Pablo Lopez Yacubian, has discovered two flaws in Apple’s Safari for Windows browser.  He said the vulnerabilities could allow hackers to remotely take control of a victim’s computer.

He described the most serious flaw as a vulnerability in the Safari 3.1 browser for Windows which allows a hacker to “falsify the web address and enter another page or content”. Even though you see a trusted URL in the browser address bar, the web page could be displaying unauthorized content that could put your PC at risk.
