Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Safari on Apple Mac OS X version 10.4

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the JavaScript implementation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash. This occurs when a long argument is passed to the exec method of a regular expression.

Recommendations For Safari on Apple Mac OS X version 10.4, consider avoiding the use of long arguments with the exec method of regular expressions until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the input length for the exec method to prevent potential crashes.
