Apple » Safari » 1.1 : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Directory traversal)

Directory traversal vulnerability in Apple Safari before 5.1.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code, in a Safari Extensions context, via a crafted safari-extension: URL.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the (a) Local Storage and (b) Web SQL database implementations in WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0 on Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.6 and Windows, and before 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.4, allow remote attackers to create arbitrary database files via vectors involving a (1) %2f and .. (dot dot) or (2) %5c and .. (dot dot) in a URL.

Apple Safari allows remote attackers to bypass intended cookie access restrictions on a web application via "%2e%2e" (encoded dot dot) directory traversal sequences in a URL, which causes Safari to send the cookie outside the specified URL subsets, e.g. to a vulnerable application that runs on the same server as the target application.
