Avoid a security vulnerability in Safari
Authored by: n8gray on Feb 24, '06 11:07:20AM

The only script I see there is one that deletes the entire resource fork from every file. This will break any file that relies on having a valid resource fork! We need something that only deletes (or replaces) the usro resource. AFAICT, for somebody who understands the APIs involved this shouldn't be a terribly hard thing to do.

Unlike the other solutions out there (rename or move Terminal.app, delete the whole resource fork, etc) this would have extremely few, if any, unintended consequences.
