Impact: An issue in Safari Tabbed browsing may lead to the disclosure of user credentials
Description: An implementation issue exists in the Tabbed browsing feature of Safari. If HTTP authentication is used by a site being loaded in a tab other than the active tab, an authentication sheet may be displayed although the tab and its corresponding page are not visible.
