WebKit in Apple Safari before 5.1.7 does not properly track state information during the processing of form input, which allows remote attackers to fill in form fields on the pages of arbitrary web sites via unspecified vectors.

The remote host has Safari installed. 

Versions of Safari earlier than 5.1.7 are reportedly affected by several issues :

  - Two unspecified errors that can allow malicious sites to perform cross-site scripting attacks. (CVE-2011-3046, CVE-2011-3056)

  - An unspecified memory corruption error exists that can allows malicious sites to crash the application or potentially execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-0672)

  - A state-tracking issue exists that can allow malicious sites to populate HTML form values of other sites with arbitrary data. (CVE-2012-0676)
