TITLE

Apple Safari Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Use-after-free vulnerability in Apple Safari 4.x before 4.1.2 and 5.x before 5.0.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via run-in styling in an element, related to object pointers. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.The specific flaw exists within the library's support of an element containing the run-in property. When a block box is appended as the sibling of a run-in box, the run-in box will be promoted to the first inline box. This implies that the first inline box will be destroyed. Later when the application attempts to destroy this element, it will access memory that has been freed. If an attacker can substitute an alternate type in the element's place, the attacker will have code execution under the context of the application. WebKit is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this issue by tricking an unsuspecting victim into viewing a web page containing malicious content. This issue has been addressed in Apple Safari 5.0.2 and Safari 4.1.2. Safari is the web browser bundled by default in the Apple family machine operating system. A use-after-free vulnerability exists in Apple Safari 4.x versions prior to 4.1.2 and 5.x versions prior to 5.0.2. This vulnerability is related to object pointers. -- Vendor Response: Apple has issued an update to correct this vulnerability.
