TITLE

Apple iTunes Used in WebKit Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

WebKit, as used in Apple iTunes before 10.5, allows man-in-the-middle attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via vectors related to iTunes Store browsing, a different vulnerability than other CVEs listed in APPLE-SA-2011-10-11-1. WebKit is prone to multiple unspecified remote code-execution vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues by performing a man-in-the-middle attack. Successful attacks will result in arbitrary code execution; failed attacks may cause denial-of-service conditions. 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. A security vulnerability exists in WebKit versions of Apple iTunes prior to 10.5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ovum says ad hoc tools are out-dated.
