Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 5.0.5; iOS before 4.3.2 for iPhone, iPod, and iPad; iOS before 4.2.7 for iPhone 4 (CDMA); and possibly other products allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by adding children to a WBR tag and then removing the tag, related to text nodes, as demonstrated by Chaouki Bekrar during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2011.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Use-after-free vulnerability in WebKit, as used in Apple Safari before 5.0.5; iOS before 4.3.2 for iPhone,     iPod, and iPad; iOS before 4.2.7 for iPhone 4 (CDMA); and possibly other products allows remote attackers     to execute arbitrary code by adding children to a WBR tag and then removing the tag, related to text     nodes, as demonstrated by Chaouki Bekrar during a Pwn2Own competition at CanSecWest 2011. (CVE-2011-1344)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Two issues in libwebkit have been fixed :

  - Webkit CSS Text Element Count remote code execution was     fixed. (CVE-2011-1290)

  - WebKit WBR Tag Removal remote code execution was fixed.
    (CVE-2011-1344)

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

Versions of iTunes earlier than 10.2.2 are potentially affected by several issues :

  - An integer overflow issue in the handling of nodesets could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2011-1290)

  - A use after free issue in the handling of text nodes could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2011-1344)

The version of Apple iTunes on the remote host is prior to version 10.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in the WebKit component :

  - An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the handling     of nodesets that can be exploited by a remote attacker     to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-1290)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability exists in the handling of     text nodes that can be exploited by a remote attacker to     execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-1344)

Note that these only affect WebKit for Windows.

The version of Apple iTunes installed on the remote Windows host is older than 10.2.2.  As such, it is potentially affected by several issues :

  - An integer overflow issue in the handling of nodesets     could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2011-1290)

  - A use after free issue in the handling of text nodes     could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2011-1344)

According to its banner, the remote Apple iOS device is missing a security update.  Versions of Apple iOS 4.2.5 or 4.2.6 are affected by vulnerabilities within the following components :

  - Certificate Trust Policy

  - QuickLook

  - WebKit

The remote mobile host is a using a version of Apple iOS earlier than 4.3.2. Such versions are potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities. Apple iOS 4.3.2 contains security fixes for the following components :

  - Certificate Trust Policy

  - libxslt

  - QuickLook

  - WebKit

The version of Safari installed on the remote Windows host is earlier than 5.0.5.  It therefore is potentially affected by several issues :

  - An integer overflow issue in the handling of nodesets     could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2011-1290)

  - A use-after-free issue in the handling of text nodes     could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2011-1344)

The version of Apple Safari installed on the remote Mac OS X host is earlier than 5.0.5.  As such, it is potentially affected by several issues :

  - An integer overflow issue in the handling of nodesets     could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2011-1290)

  - A use-after-free issue in the handling of text nodes     could lead to a crash or arbitrary code execution.
    (CVE-2011-1344)

The remote host has Safari installed. 

Versions of Safari earlier than 5.0.5 are potentially affected by several issues in the following component :

  - WebKit
