Post Apple patches Safari vulnerabilities ahead of Pwn2Own

Quote

Pwn2Own 2010 is just around the corner, and Apple has taken this opportunity to harden its web browsers security ahead of the event.

Apple has been left with egg on its face for two years at Pwn2Own, with security researcher Charlie Miller taking only minutes to compromise Mac OS X both in 2008 and 2009, leveraging unpatched flaws in the Safari web browser. This year, the Cupertino giant has shored up the defenses ahead of the event, patching 16 vulnerabilities with the release of Safari 4.0.5.

The last Safari update released by Apple was in November 2009.

Heres a list of fixes:

Description: An integer overflow that could result in a heap buffer overflow exists in the handling of images with an embedded color profile. Opening a maliciously crafted image with an embedded color profile may lead to an unexpected application termination or arbitrary code execution. The issue is addressed by performing additional validation of color profiles. This issue does not affect Mac OS X systems.
