WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0.3 does not properly restrict the URL scheme of the pluginspage attribute of an EMBED element, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to launch arbitrary file: URLs and obtain sensitive information via a crafted HTML document.

Various bugs in webkit have been fixed. The CVE id's are :

  - A vulnerability in Safari may let a malicious website to be promoted in Safari's Top Sites. (CVE-2009-2196)

  - A vulnerability in how WebKit renders an URL with look alike characters could be used to masquerade a website. (CVE-2009-2199)

  - A vulnerability in WebKit may lead to the disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2009-2200)

  - A heap buffer overflow in CoreGraphics involving the drawing of long text strings could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2009-2468)
