CVE-2012-3627

TITLE

plural Apple Used in products WebKit Vulnerable to arbitrary code execution

DESCRIPTION

WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 6.0, 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-2012-07-25-1. 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. Note: This issue was previously discussed in BID 54669 (Apple Safari Prior to 6.0 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been given its own record to better document it. Apple Apple Safari is a web browser developed by Apple (Apple), and is the default browser included with Mac OS X and iOS operating systems. Vulnerabilities exist in using WebKit in versions prior to Apple Safari 6.0. ============================================================================ Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1617-1 October 25, 2012 webkit vulnerabilities ============================================================================ A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Summary: Multiple security vulnerabilities were fixed in WebKit.
