Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions CoreServices in Apple Mac OS X version 10.4.11

Description The issue allows remote attackers to force Safari users into opening an .ief file in AppleWorks, even when the "Open 'Safe' files" preference is set, because CoreServices treats .ief as a safe file type.

Recommendations For CoreServices in Apple Mac OS X version 10.4.11, consider changing the file type association for .ief files to prevent them from being opened in AppleWorks by default, as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
