Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Finder in Apple Mac OS X versions 10.3.9 through 10.4.6

Description The issue allows attackers to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into launching an Internet Location item that appears to use a safe URL scheme but actually has a different and more risky scheme.

Recommendations For versions 10.3.9 through 10.4.6, consider avoiding the use of Internet Location items from untrusted sources until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the launching of Internet Location items to minimize the risk of exploitation.
