SafariCVE-ID: CVE-2008-2540Available for: Windows XP or VistaImpact: Saving untrusted files to the Windows desktop may lead to the execution of arbitrary codeDescription: An issue exists in how the Windows desktop handles executables. Saving an untrusted file to the Windows desktop may trigger the issue, and lead to the execution of arbitrary code. Web browsers are a means by which files may be saved to the desktop. To help mitigate this issue, the Safari browser has been updated to prompt the user prior to saving a download file. Also, the default download location is changed to the user's Downloads folder on Windows Vista, and to the user's Documents folder on Windows XP. This issue does not exist on systems running Mac OS X. Additional information is available from http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/953818.mspx which credits Aviv Raff with reporting the issue.
