Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit, as used in Apple iTunes before 10.2 on Windows, Apple Safari, and Google Chrome before 6.0.472.59, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via vectors related to SVG styles, the DOM tree, and error messages.

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

A large number of security issues were discovered in the WebKit browser and JavaScript engines. If a user were tricked into viewing a malicious website, a remote attacker could exploit a variety of issues related to web browser security, including cross-site scripting attacks, denial of service attacks, and arbitrary code execution.

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.

The remote mobile host is a using a version of Apple iOS earlier than 4.3. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities. Apple iOS 4.3 contains security fixes for the following components :

  - CoreGraphics

  - ImageIO

  - libxml

  - Networking

  - Safari

  - WebKit

  - Wi-Fi

The remote host has Safari installed.  Versions of Safari earlier than 5.0.4 are potentially affected by several issues in the following component :

  - ImageIO

  - libxml

  - WebKit

The version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 5.0.4.  It therefore is potentially affected by several issues in the following components :

  - ImageIO

  - libxml

  - WebKit

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is earlier than 5.0.4. As such, it is potentially affected by several issues in the following components :

  - libxml

  - WebKit

The remote host has iTunes installed, a popular media player for Windows and Mac OS.

Versions of iTunes earlier than 10.2 are potentially affected by numerous issues in the following components :

  - ImageIO

  - libxml

  - WebKit

Note that these issues only affect iTunes on Windows.

The version of Apple iTunes on the remote host is prior to version 10.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the WebKit, ImageIO, and libxml components. Note that these only affect iTunes for Windows.

The version of Apple iTunes installed on the remote Windows host is older than 10.2. As such, it is affected by numerous issues in the following components :

  - ImageIO

  - libxml

  - WebKit

The version of Google Chrome installed on the remote host is earlier than 6.0.472.59.  Such versions are reportedly affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A use-after-free error exists when using document APIs     during parse. (Issue #50250)

  - A use-after-free error exists in SVG styles.
   (Issue #50712)

  - A use-after-free error exists with nested SVG elements.
   (Issue #51252)

  - A race condition exists in console handling.
    (Issue #51919)

  - An unlikely browser crash exists in pop-up blocking.
    (Issue #53176)

  - A memory corruption error exists in Geolocation.
    (Issue #53394)

  - An error exists by failing to prompt for extension     history access. (Issue #54006)
