CVE-2011-3237

TITLE

plural Apple Used in products WebKit Service disruption in (DoS) Vulnerabilities

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. Apple has released updates to address these vulnerabilities. I. Apple has released updates to address these vulnerabilities. II. Impact A remote, unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code, cause a denial of service, or gain unauthorized access to your files or system. III. This advisory describes any known issues related to the updates and the specific impacts for each vulnerability. Administrators are encouraged to note these issues and impacts and test for any potentially adverse effects before wide-scale deployment. IV.
