Safari for Windows is Insecure

Tuesday, Jun. 12 2007 | Author: Griffith

Although I don’t find this very surprising, because this is the very first beta release of a “brand new” product (at least on Windows), David Maynor has found a 0-day vulnerabilities on the Windows version of Safari. He claims to have found “4 DoS bugs and 2 remote execution vulnerabilities”.

Two hours later, Thor Larholm found a vulnerability which allows command execution to be run remotely.

If David Maynor said his ass was at the top of his legs, I’d still ask him for proof.
