Buffer overflow in Apple Safari 3.0.3 522.15.5, and other versions before Beta Update 3.0.4, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly have other unspecified impact by setting document.location.hash to a long string. NOTE: the crash might actually occur in the alert method.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
