Apple's Newly Patched WinSafari Springs New Leak
This vulnerability can be exploited with a malicious Web site, where an attacker can fill in a victim's URL bar with whatever address he or she chooses. An attacker can also fill the client browser window with arbitrary content. Swiecki tested the vulnerability on what he called the "shiny, new, patched Safari 3.0.1 (522.12.12) on Windows 2003 SE SP2." Another security researcher, Mark Senior, reported that he tested the vulnerability on OS X, Safari 2.0.4, OmniWeb 5.5.4, and Camino 1.0.3 but, although all "have different behaviors," none is vulnerable, he said. Apple hadn't responded to requests for comment by the time this posted.

I have tried to download Safari on a couple of machines. It does not find any URL's. Firefox and IE
work fine.
Forget it.
