RISK: High Risk
TYPE: Clients - Browsers
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Apple Safari, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information, manipulate certain data, conduct cross-site scripting and spoofing attacks, bypass certain security restrictions, and compromise a user's system.
- An error within CFNetwork when handling the "text/plain" content type can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
- An error within CFNetwork when using the NTLM authentication protocol can be exploited to execute arbitrary code by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
- An error exists within CFNetwork when handling SSL certificates, which does not properly verify disabled root certificates. This can lead to certificates signed by the disabled root certificates being validated.
- An integer overflow error exists within the ColorSync component and CoreGraphics.
- An off-by-one error exists within the CoreFoundation framework.
- An error exists within ICU (International Components for Unicode).
- An error exists in ImageIO within the handling of TIFF files when handling certain uppercase strings.
- An error in ImageIO, libxml and WebKit can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
- A use-after-free error within WebKit when handling TIFF images, MathML markup tags, SVG tags and XHTML tags can result in an invalid pointer being dereferenced when a user views a specially crafted web page.
- An error within libxslt can be exploited to disclose certain addresses from the heap.
- An error in the "AutoFill web forms" feature can be exploited to disclose certain information from the user's Address Book by tricking a user into visiting a specially crafted web page.
- A cross-origin error when handling certain fonts in Java Applets can lead to certain text being displayed on other sites.
- Multiple unspecified errors in the WebKit component can be exploited to corrupt memory.
- An error within WebKit when handling libxslt configurations can be exploited to create arbitrary files.
- A cross-origin error when handling Web Workers can lead to certain information being disclosed.
- A cross-origin error when handling certain URLs containing a username and DOM nodes can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site.
- An error within the handling of DOM history objects can be exploited to display arbitrary content while showing the URL of a trusted web site in the address bar.
- An error within the handling of RSS feeds may lead to arbitrary files from a user's system being sent to a remote server.
- A weakness in WebKit can lead to remote DNS prefetching
