CVE-2008-1005

TITLE

Apple Safari of WebCore Of information leakage due to deficiency in input processing

DESCRIPTION

WebCore, as used in Apple Safari before 3.1, does not properly mask the password field when reverse conversion is used with the Kotoeri input method, which allows physically proximate attackers to read the password. An attacker can exploit this issue to obtain potentially sensitive information that may aid in further attacks. NOTE: This vulnerability was previously covered in BID 28290 (Apple Safari Prior to 3.1 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document the issue. Apple Safari is prone to 12 security vulnerabilities. Attackers may exploit these issues to execute arbitrary code, steal cookie-based authentication credentials, spoof secure websites, obtain sensitive information, and crash the affected application. Other attacks are also possible. These issues affect versions prior to Apple Safari 3.1 running on Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1 and 10.5.2, Microsoft Windows XP, and Windows Vista. NOTE: This BID is being retired. The following individual records have been created to fully document all the vulnerabilities that were described in this BID: 28356 Apple Safari CFNetwork Arbitrary Secure Website Spoofing Vulnerability 28321 Apple Safari Error Page Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability 28328 Apple Safari Javascript URL Parsing Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability 28330 Apple Safari WebCore 'document.domain' Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability 28347 Apple Safari Web Inspector Remote Code Injection Vulnerability 28326 Apple Safari WebCore 'Kotoeri' Password Field Information Disclosure Vulnerability 28332 Apple Safari WebCore 'window.open()' Function Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability 28335 Apple Safari WebCore Java Frame Navigation Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability 28336 Apple Safari WebCore 'document.domain' Variant Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability 28337 Apple Safari WebCore History Object Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability 28338 Apple Safari WebKit JavaScript Regular Expression Handling Buffer Overflow Vulnerability 28342 Apple Safari WebKit Frame Method Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability. Safari is the WEB browser bundled with the Apple family operating system by default. Safari's version 3.1 fixes multiple security holes, as follows: Under normal circumstances, the password field of a web page is hidden to prevent leakage. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Secunia Network Software Inspector 2.0 (NSI) - Public Beta 4 days left of beta period. The 1st generation of the Secunia Network Software Inspector (NSI) has been available for corporate users for almost 1 year and its been a tremendous success. The 2nd generation Secunia NSI is built on the same technology as the award winning Secunia PSI, which has already been downloaded and installed on more than 400,000 computers world wide. For more information: SA29393 SOLUTION: Apply updated packages via the yum utility ("yum update WebKit"). Note: Updated packages for midori and kazehakase have also been issued, which have been rebuilt against the new WebKit library. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A new version (0.9.0.0 - Release Candidate 1) of the free Secunia PSI has been released. The new version includes many new and advanced features, which makes it even easier to stay patched.

This can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks in sites that set the document.domain property or between HTTP and HTTPS sites with the same document.domain. 3) An error in Web Inspector can be exploited to inject script code that will run in other domains and can read the user's file system when a specially crafted page is inspected. 5) An error within the handling of the "window.open()" function can be used to change the security context of a web page to the caller's context. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary script code in the user's security context via a specially crafted web page. 6) The frame navigation policy is not enforced for Java applets. This can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks using java and to gain escalated privileges by enticing a user to open a specially crafted web page. 7) An unspecified error in the handling of the document.domain property can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks when a user visits a specially crafted web page. 8) An error exists in the handling of the history object. This can be exploited to inject javascript code that will run in the context of other frames. 9) A boundary error exists in the handling of javascript regular expressions, which can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted web page. Successful exploitation allows execution of arbitrary code. 10) An error in WebKit allows method instances from one frame to be called in the context of another frame. This can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks. SOLUTION: Update to version 3.1.
