This article is a "second" part of :

Safari for windows in prone vulnerable to a null pointer deference
in protocols handlers http, ftp and SafariURL.
The issue is triggered when a user in click a specially crafted link
with malformed uri that causess a NULL pointer derefence safari,
and will result in loss of availability for the browser.
In the case of SafariURL is very curious, because we can compose
a malformed url like SafariIRL://../ or SafariURL://http://../ or
ftp://../ and wen try to open it whith safari,safari opens a new
windows , and wen we try to close this new one,clicking in the
'X' the window is closed, but it reopens again ...
sO why it opens again in a infinite loop?
Take a look of posible source code of the fucnction.
in any place of the code before using a pointer,
it check that it is not equal to NULL:

Part of code affected
######################
CFURLRef safariURL = nil;
OSStatus err = LSFindApplicationForInfo(kLSUnknownCreator, CFSTR("com.apple.Safari"), nil, nil, &safariURL);if (err != noErr)
displayErrorAndQuit(@"Unable to locate Safari", @"Nightly builds of WebKit require Safari to run. Please check that it is available and then try again.");
NSBundle *safariBundle = [NSBundle bundleWithPath:[(NSURL *)safariURL path]];
CFRelease(safariURL);
return safariBundle; }

I don´t know if it has remote code execution, or other
i make SEVERAL test and only can cause a DoS ,
i don´t know if we can change NSBundle...
this issue with SafariURL can exploit across other browsers.
wen open the link with other browsers it executes safari.exe -url [link]
Thnx To estrella to be my ligth
Thnx to all Lostmon Team.
