CVE-2007-3944

TITLE

Apple Safari cross-domain HTTP redirection race condition

DESCRIPTION

Multiple heap-based buffer overflows in the Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) library in the JavaScript engine in WebKit in Apple Safari 3 Beta before Update 3.0.3, and iPhone before 1.0.1, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via certain JavaScript regular expressions. NOTE: this issue was originally reported only for MobileSafari on the iPhone. NOTE: it is not clear whether this stems from an issue in the original distribution of PCRE, which might already have a separate CVE identifier. Apple Safari contains a race condition when handling HTTP redirection when updating pages. This can allow a cross-domain violation. Apple WebCore fails to properly serialize headers into an HTTP request, which can cause a cross-domain security violation. The Apple Webkit contains a memory corruption vulnerability.This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code. The researchers responsible for discovering this issue have developed exploit code that can steal sensitive information from a vulnerable device and send it to a remote server. Another proof of concept that exploits the same issue can be used to perform physical actions on the phone such as making a sound or setting the phone to vibrate. The researchers have not yet disclosed the complete details of this vulnerability but will do so as part of a presentation for the BlackHat security conference on August 2, 2007. This issue also affects Safari on other platforms including Windows and Mac OS X. The iPhone is a smartphone developed by Capsule Corporation. There are multiple security holes in the implementation of the iPhone, which can lead to malicious operation of the browser or information leakage. Remote attackers may use this vulnerability to control the user system by enticing users to visit malicious web pages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- BETA test the new Secunia Personal Software Inspector!

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code. 3) An HTTP injection issue in XMLHttpRequest can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTTP requests. For more information see vulnerability #2 in: SA25786 4) An error in WebKit within in the handling of International Domain Name (IDN) support and Unicode fonts embedded in Safari can be exploited to spoof a URL by registering domain names with certain international characters that resembles other commonly used characters. 5) An invalid type conversion when rendering frame sets may allow execution of arbitrary code. For more information see vulnerability #1 in: SA25786 SOLUTION: Update to version 1.0.1 (downloadable and installable via iTunes).
