TITLE

Apple iOS and Safari Used in etc. WebKit Vulnerabilities that bypass the same origin policy in a page load implementation

DESCRIPTION

The Page Loading implementation in WebKit in Apple iOS before 9.3 and Safari before 9.1 mishandles character encoding during access to cached data, which allows remote attackers to bypass the Same Origin Policy and obtain sensitive information via a crafted web site. Apple iOS and Safari Used in etc. WebKit is prone to multiple security vulnerabilities. Attackers can exploit these issues to bypass security restrictions, obtain sensitive information, execute arbitrary code, conduct phishing attacks, and perform unauthorized actions; this may aid in launching further attacks. Apple iOS is an operating system developed for mobile devices; Safari is a web browser that is the default browser included with Mac OS X and iOS operating systems. 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. There is a security vulnerability in the Page Loading implementation of WebKit in versions prior to Apple iOS 9.3 and Safari versions prior to 9.1. The vulnerability stems from incorrect handling of character encoding when the program accesses cached data. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ WebKitGTK+ Security Advisory WSA-2016-0003 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Date reported : March 31, 2016 Advisory ID : WSA-2016-0003 Advisory URL : http://webkitgtk.org/security/WSA-2016-0003.html CVE identifiers : CVE-2016-1778, CVE-2016-1779, CVE-2016-1781, CVE-2016-1782, CVE-2016-1783, CVE-2016-1785, CVE-2016-1786.
