TITLE

Apple iTunes Used in WebKit Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

WebKit, as used in Apple iTunes before 10.6, 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-2012-03-07-1. 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. A vulnerability exists when WebKit is used in versions prior to Apple iTunes 10.6. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Become a PSI 3.0 beta tester!
