    (CVE-2009-2285)

  - An integer overflow in the handling of images with an     embedded color profile could lead to a crash or     arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2010-0040)

  - An uninitialized memory access issue in ImageIO's     handling of BMP images could result in sending of data     from Safari's memory to a website. (CVE-2010-0041)

  - An uninitialized memory access issue in ImageIO's     handling of TIFF images could result in the sending of     data from Safari's memory to a website. (CVE-2010-0042)

  - A memory corruption issue in the handling of TIFF     images could lead to a crash or arbitrary code     execution. (CVE-2010-0043)

  - An implementation issue in the handling of cookies set     by RSS and Atom feeds could result in a cookie being     set when visiting or updating a feed even if Safari is     configured to block cookies via the 'Accept Cookies'     preference. (CVE-2010-0044)

  - An issue in Safari's handling of external URL schemes     could cause a local file to be opened in response to a     URL encountered on a web page, which could allow a     malicious web server to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2010-0045)

  - A memory corruption issue in WebKit's handling of CSS     format() arguments could lead to a crash or arbitrary     code execution. (CVE-2010-0046)

A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKit browser and JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution.

Please consult the bug listed at the top of this advisory to get the exact list of CVE numbers fixed for each release.
