* Safari, CVE-ID: CVE-2007-2398 Available for: Windows XP or Vista Impact: A maliciously crafted website may control the contents of the address bar Description: A timing issue in Safari 3.1 allows a web page to change the contents of the address bar without loading the contents of the corresponding page.

“Macworld’s recent review of Safari 3.0.4 () highlighted the browser’s excellent—and constantly updated—support for modern Web standards. Continuing that trend, the just-released Safari 3.1 not only stays at the head of the pack in standards support, but also becomes the first browser to work with such up-and-coming technologies as CSS Animations and the audio and video tags in HTML version 5, which is still in draft mode.”
