TITLE

Apple Safari Used in WebKit Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 5.0.6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than other WebKit CVEs listed in APPLE-SA-2011-07-20-1. WebKit is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability due to memory-corruption. Attackers can exploit this issue by enticing an unsuspecting user into visiting a malicious webpage. Successful attacks will result in arbitrary code execution; failed attacks may cause denial-of-service conditions. NOTE: This issue was previously discussed in BID 48808 (Apple Safari Prior to 5.1 and 5.0.6 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. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2245-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Giuseppe Iuculano May 29, 2011 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : chromium-browser Vulnerability : several vulnerabilities Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2011-1292 CVE-2011-1293 CVE-2011-1440 CVE-2011-1444 CVE-2011-1797 CVE-2011-1799 Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the Chromium browser. CVE-2011-1444 Race condition in the sandbox launcher implementation in Google Chrome on Linux allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via unknown vectors. For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 6.0.472.63~r59945-5+squeeze5. For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems will be fixed soon. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 11.0.696.68~r84545-1. We recommend that you upgrade your chromium-browser packages.

This can lead to certificates signed by the disabled root certificates being validated. 4) An integer overflow error exists within the ColorSync component. For more information see vulnerability #5 in: SA45054 5) An off-by-one error exists within the CoreFoundation framework. For more information see vulnerability #6 in: SA45054 6) An integer overflow error exists in CoreGraphics. For more information see vulnerability #7 in: SA45054 7) An error exists within ICU (International Components for Unicode). For more information see vulnerability #11 in: SA45054 8) An error exists in ImageIO within the handling of TIFF files when handling certain uppercase strings. For more information see vulnerability #9 in: SA45054 9) An error in ImageIO within the handling of CCITT Group 4 encoded TIFF image files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. 10) A use-after-free error within WebKit when handling TIFF images can result in an invalid pointer being dereferenced when a user views a specially crafted web page. 11) An error within libxslt can be exploited to disclose certain addresses from the heap. For more information see vulnerability #2 in: SA43832 12) An off-by-one error within libxml when handling certain XML data can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. 13) An error in the "AutoFill web forms" feature can be exploited to disclose certain information from the user's Address Book by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page. 14) A cross-origin error when handling certain fonts in Java Applets can lead to certain text being displayed on other sites. 15) Multiple unspecified errors in the WebKit component can be exploited to corrupt memory. 16) An error within WebKit when handling libxslt configurations can be exploited to create arbitrary files. 17) A cross-origin error when handling Web Workers can lead to certain information being disclosed. 18) A cross-origin error when handling certain URLs containing a username can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site. 19) A cross-origin error when handling DOM nodes can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site. 20) An error within the handling of DOM history objects can be exploited to display arbitrary content while showing the URL of a trusted web site in the address bar. 21) An error within the handling of RSS feeds may lead to arbitrary files from a user's system being sent to a remote server. 22) A weakness in WebKit can lead to remote DNS prefetching For more information see vulnerability #6 in: SA42312 23) A use-after-free error within WebKit when processing MathML markup tags can result in an invalid pointer being dereferenced when a user views a specially crafted web page. 24) An error within WebKit when parsing a frameset element can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow. 25) A use-after-free error within WebKit when handling XHTML tags can result in an invalid tag pointer being dereferenced when a user views a specially crafted web page. 26) A use-after-free error within WebKit when handling SVG tags can result in an invalid pointer being dereferenced when a user views a specially crafted web page. The weakness and the vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 5.1 and 5.0.6. SOLUTION: Update to version 5.1 or 5.0.6.
