Description
Integer signedness error in Apple Safari allows remote attackers to read the contents of arbitrary memory locations, cause a denial of service (application crash), and probably have unspecified other impact via the array index of the arguments array in a JavaScript function, possibly a related issue to CVE-2008-2307.
