Safari 3.1 Vulnerabilities Found

Secunia has already found two “highly critical” vulnerabilities for the recently released Safari 3.1 web browser that can result in execution of arbitrary code. The first is due to an improper handling of the buffer for long filenames of files being downloaded, and the second can result in successful spoofing of websites and phishing.
This is not good news for Apple following the enormous outcry on how Apple chose to roll out Safari 3.1 via their iTunes bundled updating software. Mozilla CEO John Lilly was not happy about this method either. There are a reported 500 million iTunes users.
Another interesting find is in the Apple EULA (End User Licensing Agreement) that you must accept before installing Safari…Apple’s Safari license says that users are permitted to install the browser on no more than “a single Apple-labeled computer at a time.” This means that if you install Safari for Windows on a Windows PC, you’re violating the license.
