Use-after-free vulnerability in the garbage-collection implementation in WebCore in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap corruption and application crash) via an SVG animation element, related to SVG set objects, SVG marker elements, the targetElement attribute, and unspecified "caches."

Various bugs in webkit have been fixed. The CVE id's are :

It was discovered that KDE-Graphics did not properly handle certain malformed SVG images. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted SVG image, an attacker could cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the KDE KSVG animation element implementation. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted SVG image, which once opened by an unsuspecting user, could cause a denial of service (Konqueror crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Konqueror. (CVE-2009-1709)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the KDE, KSVG SVGList interface implementation. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted SVG image, which once opened by an unsuspecting user, would cause memory corruption, leading to a denial of service (Konqueror crash). (CVE-2009-0945)

The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.

Various pointer dereferencing vulnerabilities in kdegraphics3's KSVG have been fixed. CVE-2009-1709 and CVE-2009-0945 have been assigned to this issue.

Various pointer dereferencing vulnerabilities in kdegraphics3's KSVG have been fixed. CVE-2009-1709 / CVE-2009-0945 have been assigned to this issue.

Also specially crafted PDF files could crash kpdf or potentially even cause execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2010-3702 / CVE-2010-3703 / CVE-2010-3704)

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in kdegraphics (ksvg) :

Use-after-free vulnerability in the garbage-collection implementation in WebCore in WebKit in Apple Safari before 4.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (heap corruption and application crash) via an SVG animation element, related to SVG set objects, SVG marker elements, the targetElement attribute, and unspecified caches. (CVE-2009-1709)

Packages for 2008.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Two security issues have been discovered in kdegraphics, the graphics apps from the official KDE release. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2009-0945     It was discovered that the KSVG animation element     implementation suffers from a NULL pointer dereference     flaw, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary     code.

  - CVE-2009-1709     It was discovered that the KSVG animation element     implementation is prone to a use-after-free flaw, which     could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Updated kdegraphics packages that fix two security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having critical security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

The kdegraphics packages contain applications for the K Desktop Environment (KDE). Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based language to describe vector images. KSVG is a framework aimed at implementing the latest W3C SVG specifications.

A use-after-free flaw was found in the KDE KSVG animation element implementation.

All users of kdegraphics should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The desktop must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.

The version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 4.0.  It therefore is potentially affected by numerous issues in the following components :

  - CFNetwork
  - CoreGraphics
  - ImageIO
  - International Components for Unicode
  - libxml
  - Safari
  - Safari Windows Installer
  - WebKit

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is earlier than 4.0.  As such, it is potentially affected by numerous issues in the following components :
