Description

Mac OS X contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application may allow Javascript embedded in an RSS feed to run in the context of the RSS reader document. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted RSS feed that would execute arbitrary code by circumventing Safari's security model, leading to a loss of integrity.
