WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 4.1.3 and 5.0.x before 5.0.3 and Google Chrome before 6.0.472.62, does not properly perform a cast of an unspecified variable, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via an SVG element in a non-SVG document.

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

  - FreeType

  - iAd Content Display

  - ImageIO

  - libxml

  - Mail

  - Networking

  - OfficeImport

  - Photos

  - Safari

  - Telephony

  - WebKit

  - Multiple components

The version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 5.0.3.  As such, it is potentially affected by numerous issues in its WebKit component that could allow arbitrary code execution, session tracking, address bar spoofing, and other sorts of attacks.

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is earlier than 5.0.3 / 4.1.3.  As such, it is potentially affected by numerous issues in its WebKit component that could allow arbitrary code execution, session tracking, address bar spoofing, and other sorts of attacks.

Fix CVE-2010-1822 WebKit: DoS (crash) by processing certain SVG images.
