Overview:
A vulnerabilitiy exists in Safari 2.0.3 (417.9.2) and perhaps in
prior versions which causes the operating system to slow down SRCOD
(Spinning Rainbow Cursor Of Death), and therefore, it's not possible
to launch any applications like Terminal to kill the process. After
several minutes Safari crashes.
