Safari’s RSS could compromise your personal data

Reports of a new security issue in both the Mac and Windows versions of Safari are stating that there is a “hole” in how Safari handles RSS feeds, which could potentially allow an attacker to capture a user’s personal information, cookies, passwords, etc. through a malicious web page. The discovery of this new vulnerability can be credited to Brain Mastenbrook, who is known for discovering many previous vulnerabilities in Mac OS X.
