DESCRIPTION:
A weakness and multiple vulnerabilities have been reported 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.
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) 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.
4) An integer overflow error exists within the ColorSync component.
For more information see vulnerability #5 in:
SA45054
5) An off-by-one error exists within the CoreFoundation framework.
For more information see vulnerability #6 in:
SA45054
6) An integer overflow error exists in CoreGraphics.
For more information see vulnerability #7 in:
SA45054
7) An error exists within ICU (International Components for
Unicode).
For more information see vulnerability #11 in:
SA45054
8) An error exists in ImageIO within the handling of TIFF files when
handling certain uppercase strings.
For more information see vulnerability #9 in:
SA45054
9) An error in ImageIO within the handling of CCITT Group 4 encoded
TIFF image files can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer
overflow.
10) A use-after-free error within WebKit when handling TIFF images
can result in an invalid pointer being dereferenced when a user views
a specially crafted web page.
11) An error within libxslt can be exploited to disclose certain
addresses from the heap.
For more information see vulnerability #2 in:
SA43832
12) An off-by-one error within libxml when handling certain XML data
can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
13) 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.
14) A cross-origin error when handling certain fonts in Java Applets
can lead to certain text being displayed on other sites.
15) Multiple unspecified errors in the WebKit component can be
exploited to corrupt memory.
16) An error within WebKit when handling libxslt configurations can
be exploited to create arbitrary files.
17) A cross-origin error when handling Web Workers can lead to
certain information being disclosed.
18) A cross-origin error when handling certain URLs containing a
username can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code
in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site.
19) A cross-origin error when handling 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.
20) 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.
21) An error within the handling of RSS feeds may lead to arbitrary
files from a user's system being sent to a remote server.
22) A weakness in WebKit can lead to remote DNS prefetching
For more information see vulnerability #6 in:
SA42312
23) A use-after-free error within WebKit when processing MathML
markup tags can result in an invalid pointer being dereferenced when
a user views a specially crafted web page.
24) An error within WebKit when parsing a frameset element can be
exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
25) A use-after-free error within WebKit when handling XHTML tags can
result in an invalid tag pointer being dereferenced when a user views
a specially crafted web page.
26) A use-after-free error within WebKit when handling SVG tags can
result in an invalid pointer being dereferenced when a user views a
specially crafted web page.
The weakness and the vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior
to 5.1 and 5.0.6.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.1 or 5.0.6.
