Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Apple Safari versions 3.0 through 3.0.3 on Windows Apple Safari on Mac OS X versions 10.4 through 10.4.10

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to spoof HTTP authentication for other sites and possibly conduct phishing attacks. This is achieved by causing an authentication sheet to be displayed for a non-active tab, making it appear as if it is associated with the active tab.
