Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple Safari version 4.0.3

Description The issue is related to a stack consumption problem that can cause the application to crash when a long URI value in the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) background property is encountered. This can be triggered by remote attackers, leading to a denial of service.

Recommendations For Apple Safari version 4.0.3, consider avoiding the use of long URI values in the CSS background property until a fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of CSS background properties with long URI values to minimize the risk of application crash.
