TITLE

Apple Safari of WebKit Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.0.3 on Mac OS X 10.5 through 10.6 and Windows, and before 4.1.3 on Mac OS X 10.4, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via vectors involving Geolocation objects. NOTE: this might overlap CVE-2010-3415. This vulnerability CVE-2010-3415 And may be duplicated.Arbitrary code is executed or service operation is interrupted by a third party (DoS) There is a possibility of being put into a state. WebKit is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. Attackers can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user into visiting a malicious webpage. Successful attacks will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application. Failed exploit attempts will result in a denial-of-service condition. NOTE: This issue was previously covered in BID 44938 (Apple Safari Prior to 5.0.3 and 4.1.3 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it. WebKit is a set of open source web browser engines jointly developed by companies such as KDE, Apple (Apple), and Google (Google), and is currently used by browsers such as Apple Safari and Google Chrome. Apple Apple Safari is a web browser developed by Apple (Apple), and is the default browser included with Mac OS X and iOS operating systems. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secure your corporate defenses and reduce complexity in handling vulnerability threats with the new Secunia Vulnerability Intelligence Manager (VIM) Beta.

For more information: SA41328 4) An integer underflow error in the handling of WebSockets can be exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. 5) An unspecified error in the handling of images created from "canvas" elements can be exploited to conduct cross-origin image thefts. This is related to vulnerability #12 in: SA41242 6) An invalid cast in the handling of editing commands can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. 7) An invalid cast in the handling of inline styling can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. 8) An error within the handling of the History object can be exploited to spoof the address in the location bar or add arbitrary locations to the history. 9) A use-after-free error in the handling of element attributes can be exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. 10) An integer overflow error in the handling of Text objects can be exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. 11) A weakness is caused due to WebKit performing DNS prefetching for HTML Link elements even when it is disabled. 12) Multiple use-after-free errors in the handling of plugins can be exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. This is related to vulnerability #5 in: SA41014 13) A use-after-free error in the handling of element focus can be exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. This is related to vulnerability #10 in: SA41242 14) A use-after-free error in the handling of scrollbars can be exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. 15) An invalid cast in the handling of CSS 3D transforms can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. 16) A use-after-free error in the handling of inline text boxes can be exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. 17) An invalid cast in the handling of CSS boxes can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. 18) An unspecified error in the handling of editable elements can be exploited to trigger an access of uninitialised memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. 19) An unspecified error in the handling of the ':first-letter' pseudo-element in cascading stylesheets can be exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. 20) An uninitialised pointer error in the handling of CSS counter styles can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. 22) A use-after-free error in the handling of "use" elements in SVG documents can be exploited to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code. 23) An invalid cast in the handling of SVG elements in non-SVG documents can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. This is related to vulnerability #2 in: SA41443 24) An invalid cast in the handling of colors in SVG documents can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code. SOLUTION: Update to Safari 5.0.3 (Mac OS X 10.5.8, Mac OS X 10.6.4 or later, Windows 7, Vista, XP) or Safari 4.1.3 (Mac OS X 10.4.11).
