TITLE

Apple Safari Information disclosure vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

Safari in Apple iPhone 1.1.1, and Safari 3 before Beta Update 3.0.4 on Windows and Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.10, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a crafted web page that identifies the URL of the parent window, even when the parent window is in a different domain. Apple Mac OS X CoreText contains an uninitialized pointer vulnerability, which may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system. Apple iPhone is prone to an information-disclosure vulnerability. This issue affects the phone's Mobile Safari application. Attackers may exploit this issue to access potentially sensitive information; other attacks are also possible. NOTE: This issue was initially disclosed along with several other issues in BID 25834 (Apple iPhone 1.1.1 Update Multiple Security Vulnerabilities). Each issue has been assigned its own BID to better document the details. Versions prior to iPhone 1.1.1 are vulnerable. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2003: 2,700 advisories published 2004: 3,100 advisories published 2005: 4,600 advisories published 2006: 5,300 advisories published How do you know which Secunia advisories are important to you?

For more information: SA26027 2) A null-pointer dereference error exists within AppleRAID when handling disk images. This can be exploited to cause a system shutdown when a specially crafted disk image is mounted e.g. automatically via Safari if the option "Open 'safe' files after downloading" is enabled. 3) An error in BIND can be exploited by malicious people to poison the DNS cache. For more information: SA26152 4) An error in bzip2 can be exploited to cause a DoS (Denial of Service). For more information: SA15447 This also fixes a race condition when setting file permissions. 5) An unspecified error in the implementation of FTP of CFNetwork can be exploited by a malicious FTP server to cause the client to connect to other hosts by sending specially crafted replies to FTP PASV (passive) commands. 6) An unspecified error exists in the validation of certificates within CFNetwork. This can be exploited via a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack to spoof a web site with a trusted certificate. 7) A null pointer dereference error in the CFNetwork framework can lead to an unexpected application termination when a vulnerable application connects to a malicious server. 8) A boundary error in CoreFoundation can be exploited to cause a one-byte buffer overflow when a user is enticed to read a specially crafted directory hierarchy. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. 9) An error exists in CoreText due to the use of an uninitialised pointer and can be exploited to execute arbitrary code when a user is tricked into reading a specially crafted text. 10) Some vulnerabilities in Kerberos can be exploited by malicious users and malicious people to compromise a vulnerable system. For more information: SA26676 11) An error in the handling of the current Mach thread port or thread exception port in the Kernel can be exploited by a malicious, local user to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. Successful exploitation requires permission to execute a setuid binary. 12) An unspecified error in the Kernel can be exploited to bypass the chroot mechanism by changing the working directory using a relative path. 13) An integer overflow error in the "i386_set_ldt" system call can be exploited by malicious, local users to execute arbitrary code with escalated privileges. 14) An error exists in the handling of standard file descriptors while executing setuid and setgid programs. This can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain system privileges by executing setuid programs with the standard file descriptors in an unexpected state. 15) An integer overflow exists in the Kernel when handling ioctl requests. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code with system privileges by sending a specially crafted ioctl request. 16) The default configuration of tftpd allows clients to access any path on the system. 17) An error in the Node Information Query mechanism may allow a remote user to query for all addresses of a host, including link-local addresses. 18) An integer overflow exists in the handling of ASP messages with AppleTalk. This can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and to execute arbitrary code with system privileges by sending a maliciously crafted ASP message on an AppleTalk socket. 19) A double-free error in the handling of certain IPV6 packets can potentially be exploited to execute arbitrary code with system privileges. 20) A boundary error exists when adding a new AppleTalk zone. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by sending a maliciously crafted ioctl request to an AppleTalk socket and allows execution of arbitrary code with system privileges. 21) An arithmetic error exists in AppleTalk when handling memory allocations. This can be exploited by malicious, local users to cause a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code with system privileges by sending a maliciously crafted AppleTalk message. 22) A double free error in NFS exists when processing an AUTH_UNIX RPC call. This can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary code by sending a maliciously crafted AUTH_UNIX RPC call via TCP or UDP. 23) An unspecified case-sensitivity error exists in NSURL when determining if a URL references the local file system. 24) A format string error in Safari can be exploited by malicious people to execute arbitrary code when a user is tricked into opening a .download file with a specially crafted name. 25) An implementation error exists in the tabbed browsing feature of Safari. If HTTP authentication is used by a site being loaded in a tab other than the active tab, an authentication sheet may be displayed although the tab and its corresponding page are not visible. 26) A person with physical access to a system may be able to bypass the screen saver authentication dialog by sending keystrokes to a process running behind the screen saver authentication dialog. 27) Safari does not block "file://" URLs when loading resources. This can be exploited to view the content of local files by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web page. 28) An input validation error exists in WebCore when handling HTML forms. This can be exploited to alter the values of form fields by enticing a user to upload a specially crafted file. 29) A race condition error exists in Safari when handling page transitions. This can be exploited to obtain information entered in forms on other web sites by enticing a user to visit a malicious web page. 30) An unspecified error exists in the handling of the browser's history. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web page. 31) An error in Safari allows malicious websites to set Javascript window properties of websites served from a different domain. 32) An error in Safari allows a malicious website to bypass the same origin policy by hosting embedded objects with javascript URLs. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in context of another site by enticing a user to visit a specially crafted web page. 33) An error in Safari allows content served over HTTP to alter or access content served over HTTPS in the same domain. 34) An error in Safari in the handling of new browser windows can be exploited to disclose the URL of an unrelated page. For more information see vulnerability #2 in: SA23893 35) An error in WebKit may allow unauthorised applications to access private keys added to the keychain by Safari. 36) An unspecified error in Safari may allow a malicious website to send remotely specified data to arbitrary TCP ports. 37) WebKit/Safari creates temporary files insecurely when previewing a PDF file, which may allow a local user to access the file's content.

The Secunia NSI enables you to INSPECT, DISCOVER, and DOCUMENT vulnerabilities in more than 4,700 different Windows applications. 2) The problem is that users are not notified about changes of mail servers' identities when Mail is configured to use SSL for incoming and outgoing connections. This can be exploited e.g. to impersonate the user's mail server and obtain the user's email credentials. 3) It is possible to cause the iPhone to call a phone number without user confirmation by enticing a user to follow a "tel:" link in a mail message. Exiting Safari during the confirmation process may result in unintentional confirmation. 7) Disabling Javascript in Safari does not take effect until Safari is restarted. SOLUTION: Update to version 1.1.1 (downloadable and installable via iTunes).
