Security hole threatens Safari, Firefox, others
A security hole in Firefox and Safari could enable malicious Web sites to mislead users. The exploit involves International Domain Name (IDN) handling. A proof of concept is available to demonstrate the exploit. There is currently no known workaround for Safari, and a potential fix Mozilla is questioned. Internet Explorer is not affected. Camino, however, appears to be vulnerable to the exploit.
