Safari 4.0.4 Remote Denial of Service (With Possible Memory Corruption With OOM)
This exploit uses a buffer overflow vulnerability to cause a denial of service in Safari 4.0.4. The exploit creates a buffer of 'A' characters and then uses a loop to write a large amount of data to the page. This causes the browser to crash.
Mitigation:
Upgrade to the latest version of Safari, or use a different browser.
