Comment 1 Tomas Hoger 2008-04-23 09:16:37 UTC

Relevant part of Apple security advisory:

WebKit
CVE-ID:  CVE-2008-1025
Available for:  Mac OS X v10.4.11, Mac OS X Server v10.4.11,
Mac OS X v10.5.2, Mac OS X Server v10.5.2, Windows XP or Vista
Impact:  Visiting a malicious website may result in cross-site
scripting
Description:  An issue exists in WebKit's handling of URLs containing
a colon character in the host name. Opening a maliciously crafted URL
may lead to a cross-site scripting attack. This update addresses the
issue through improved handling of URLs. Credit to Robert Swiecki of
the Google Security Team, and David Bloom for reporting this issue.


So far, I failed to find further details about this issue.  Searching WebKit
trac does not show anything obvious either.

Comment 2 Tomas Hoger 2008-04-29 07:13:34 UTC

According to Apple Product Security team, this is relevant change set:

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/31438
