This is a nasty one that has apparently been there for a long time on 
both systems.  The iOS bug has been patched so be sure to get the update 
but the OS X fix is yet to come.  Since the bug affects Safari the 
suggestion is to use Chrome or Firefox until OS X is fixed.

If you're a programmer check this

It's amazing that this was not caught in code inspection during development.
