RISK: Medium Risk

Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Apple Safari, which could be exploited by remote attackers to disclose sensitive information or compromise a vulnerable system.

1. Due to an error when handling BMP and GIF images, which could cause an out-of-bounds memory read, leading to the disclosure of memory contents.

2. Due to an error when handling files that are downloaded from a website which is in an Internet Explorer 7 zone with the "Launching applications and unsafe files" setting set to "Enable", or in the Internet Explorer 6 "Local intranet" or "Trusted sites" zone, which could cause Safari to automatically launch executable files.

3. Due to a memory corruption error in WebKit when handling certain JavaScript arrays, which could be exploited to crash an affected browser or execute arbitrary code.
