Here is the Secunia.com site and a slab of explanation from them
http://secunia.com/advisories/11622/

Description:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Mac OS X, allowing malicious web sites to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) The problem is that the "help" URI handler allows execution of arbitrary local scripts (.scpt) via the classic directory traversal character sequence using "help:runscript".

2) It is reportedly also possible to silently place arbitrary files in a known location, including script files, on a user's system using the "disk" URI handler.

Various variants of the URI handler vulnerabilities are currently being discussed.


Expand your horizons and read the original source of the story. 13 year old trolls make me nuts.
