CVE-2012-0591

TITLE

plural Apple Used in products WebKit Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

WebKit, as used in Apple iOS before 5.1 and iTunes before 10.6, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted web site, a different vulnerability than other WebKit CVEs listed in APPLE-SA-2012-03-07-1 and APPLE-SA-2012-03-07-2. WebKit is prone to multiple unspecified memory-corruption vulnerabilities. An attacker can exploit these issues by enticing an unsuspecting user into visiting a malicious webpage with a vulnerable application. Few technical details are currently available. We will update this BID when more information emerges. Successful exploits will allow attackers to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected browser or cause denial-of-service conditions; other attacks may also be possible. 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. WebKit is vulnerable when used in Apple iOS versions prior to 5.1 and iTunes prior to 10.6. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Become a PSI 3.0 beta tester!

For more information see vulnerability #21 in: SA47843 5) A race condition error in the Passcode Lock component when handling slide to dial gestures can be exploited to bypass the Passcode Lock screen. 6) The weakness is caused due to the Private Browsing mode in Safari not properly preventing recording of visits to certain sites using the pushState or replaceState JavaScript methods. 7) An error within the Siri component when handling voice commands can be exploited to bypass the screen lock and forward an open mail message to an arbitrary recipient. 8) A format string error in the VPN component when handling racoon configuration files can be exploited to execute arbitrary code via a specially crafted racoon configuration file. 10) An error within the WebKit component when handling drag-and-drop actions can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
