Directory traversal vulnerability in Apple Safari before 5.1.1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript code, in a Safari Extensions context, via a crafted safari-extension: URL.
The product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory.
