TITLE

Apple Safari of servePendingRequests Service disruption in functions (DoS) Vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION

Use-after-free vulnerability in the servePendingRequests function in WebCore in WebKit in Apple Safari 4.0 and 4.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document that references a zero-length .js file and the JavaScript reload function. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information. Apple Safari is prone to a denial-of-service vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, denying service to legitimate users. Given the nature of this issue, the attacker may also be able to run arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed. Safari 4.0 and 4.0.1 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. Safari is the web browser bundled by default in the Apple family machine operating system. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Do you have VARM strategy implemented?

The weakness is caused due to a use-after-free error while calling the "servePendingRequests()" function in WebKit. This can be exploited to dereference invalid memory and cause a crash when a user visits a specially crafted web page. Successful exploitation crashes the browser. However, even though code execution has not been proven, it cannot be completely ruled out. NOTE: Secunia normally does not classify a browser crash as a vulnerability nor issue an advisory about it. However, the potential impact of this issue may be more severe than currently believed. The weakness is confirmed in Apple Safari version 4.0 (530.17) for Windows. SOLUTION: Fixed in the WebKit development repository. http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/44519 Do not browse untrusted websites or follow untrusted links.
