WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.1.4 does not properly handle redirects in conjunction with HTTP authentication, which might allow remote web servers to capture credentials by logging the Authorization HTTP header.

The remote host has Safari installed. 

Versions of Safari earlier than 5.1.4 are reportedly affected by several issues :

  - Look-alike characters in a URL could be used to masquerade a website. (CVE-2012-0584)

  - Web page visits may be recorded in browser history even when private browsing is active. (CVE-2012-0585)

  - Multiple cross-site scripting issues existed in WebKit. (CVE-2011-3881, CVE-2012-0586, CVE-2012-0587, CVE-2012-0588, CVE-2012-0589)

  - A cross-origin issue existed in WebKit, which may allow cookies to be disclosed across origins. (CVE-2011-3887)

  - Visiting a maliciously crafted website and dragging content with the mouse may lead to a cross-site scripting attack. (CVE-2012-0590)

  - Multiple memory corruption issues existed in WebKit.
